Back From The Rapids And Still NO Job

Well we went To the race up in the Rapids over the weekend. The course was pretty much the same as other years. We got there on Saturday. It did nothing but rain the whole way up so we stopped and got some lunch in the Dells. Let me say this avoid Cracker Barrel in the Dells. Worst service almost ever. So we continued on our way get to the Rapids and no rain. Cool of to ride I go. After all that we went to dinner at Pasquels. This was by far the worst service ever. If you were there that night you know what I mean. Sunday was all good. Dakota Started out really slow. Last out on to the road. Then He comes Out of the first single track up about two spots. That's where he finished. So a ok race for him. I set out on my race on a mission. All I needed was A third or better to lock up third in my series for the year. So off I went. I got some HELP from Hauser wich was a surprise to me because the guy I was racing for third was his teammate. So hears how things went. Me: you ready to go. Hauser: lets do it. And it was like that the whole race. Unforunatly I fell off right at the end going up the gravel hill or there could have been a good sprint to the finish. Best part is I finished Second for the second race in a row. This weekend its off to the Fall Color Fest. I am going to try the singlespeed thing. I will have my rear handed to me but it will be a blast .

The 40 well Short and Round

Well any ways on Saturday I did my first race at Cheq. I only did the Shoirt and Fat but man was it a blast. If you have never raced here you need to. This is probably the single best race in the midwest. Well any way I started near the front. Well the top 200 atleast and managed to stay there all day. That was good considering the night before I slept in my car like a homeless guy. That to was cool. Wish my bud Neil Could have made it I should have let him now where my wife was while she was In Cali. Well Imanaged to finish 13th in my age and 176th over all. I was happy because i was in the top 25%. Remember there were 800 racers in my race. Well this weekend we are off to Wisconsin Rapids. I love this course. Flat and full of single track. Hope things go well. Dakota is racing as well. I just hope he dos't finish last. He has improved some over the last couple of races. Lets see if it continues.

Whats up with this weather

Well me and the family went to our cabin over the holiday weekend and what do you know it rains all day on monday. That sucked because I had a epic ride planed for little Dakota. Well moving on the forcast for this weekends race is looking like a repeat of last year. Yes it is for rain. So on tonight ride I took out my single speed in anticipation of the upcoming mudfest. I hit the local trails feeling pretty good all in all not having ridden since last thursday. I got in 31.6 miles tonight before it got dark. I am hoping I won't have to use the snot rocket this weekend but another good mudfest is alwats welcome in my book.
