Suhr the Blur

Since I am not one to play catch up this will only be a quick recap of the first week of our four week trip. There will be much better coverage of the events as they unfold for the rest of the season. After driving for 26 hours straight through, from Colorado Springs, CO to Trexlertown, Pa, Kevin “Pit Bull” Selker. Ryan “Frankenstein” Luttrell, Mike “Toolbox” Hall, and I arrived for our first weekend of racing in the National Track Calendar for the 2006 Season.

Therefore welcome to my little place on the web and a start of my new hobby while I travel, adn please bare with me as it will take a few days for this thing to get up an running, but I have many ideas to make this not just your boring cycling web blog.
