Vacation


After Kim and Chris's wedding I headed up to the Chicago Crit with Isaac. The race was very cool with tons of sweet riders there. Race was going well then I broke a spoke in my rear wheel. Headed over to the SRAM tent and they hooked me up with a 404. Thanks guys! I got back in with 11 laps to go feeling great even though I spent the previous night drinking and dancing. Last lap I was sitting about 10-15th wheel, thinking this is going to be a sweet result. However on the 2nd corner people decided to slide out right infront of me and I was off into the hay bails. All that work just to get taken out on the last lap. Very Frustrating! I guess thats bike racing.

Pam came up Sunday and we headed up to Wisconsin for some well needed vacation. Here are some photos of the week:

Cross is around the corner

Road season is winding down with only a few more weekends of racing left. Season has been going pretty well. Nothing outstanding unfortunately. Still waiting for that one great result. However the next couple weeks are my favorite crits all season so we will see how that goes. This weekend Kim and Chris are getting hitched down here in Btown. It should be a blast. Then off to Chicago Crit on Sunday hopefully not too hungover. Pam and I are taking another vacation up North to do some more fishing and relaxing next week. Summer is winding down slowly but honestly I am ready for the fall. It is by far my favorite season. Cross, leaves, beer, etc. Its great!
