dmv tonight

tonights race was, well, awesome right up till when the race ended...hahaha

to start off: work was a bear, some folks were just on one and i didn't care for it..whatever that's why some are stuck at a dead end job at a bike shop.

ride out: tooled around for a bit waiting for jex, dave and james to come down the hill, never saw them turns out they got a bit of a late start and they didn't catch me on their way out...no biggie rode home with them.

race: had a great start position for the 'neutral' lap when we crossed the start line it was game on and our crew was launching attack after attack.....i love it. about 5 laps in i front flatted on the way up the hill....shiz....why does the course not like me??? i snagged a wheel from andre (just for the record andre kicks ass....he rides hard and is super mellow...and he was the 2nd team mate i asked for a wheel, as the first turned me down, nice, thanks andre owe you a beer or 3). i jumped back in and was on the front drilling it for most the rest of the race...when i wasn't drillin it robbie was. (robbie kicks ass too....that's all need be said) as i was down a lap i didn't sprint for the finish, well i did but i didn't have anything left so it just looked like i didn't....hahaha

post race: gave andre back his wheel and thanked him again for being a supportive team mate. as i was getting ready to put a tube in my wheel the official came over and scalded me for not following the rules: "when you are down a lap you can only jump back in and stay in the back" are you kidding.....this is a training race so i paid my $ and i trained....i mean when i was drilling it at the front lap after lap there was still a group off the front, so in a way i was in the back..hahaha, formality. anyway i didn't contest the sprint and my actions prob didn't change the events of the finish, so whatever, i'd do it again....

ride home: caught up with jex. jex likes to ride his bike on his terms, that makes me like jex a lot....he races when he wants, and goes on long rides with good friends when he wants....he told me he hates racing on the weekend because he likes to drink a few beers with friends during the evening, and get up and ride on his terms..nice.

at home: i'm pooped, worked on some stuff around the house...caught up with brian w, haven't seen him for a few years he's got a couple projects that i'm helping him with, should be fun. umm what else....oh yeah, WAY past bed time.....sleep.......
