On the road again.


Hello again from Puget Sound! I don't know if the picture is any good, I mean taking pics of hte sunset with a camera phone is not a good idea. But there was an awesome sunset last night when we were playing Bocce Ball after dinner.

We have not talked in almost a month! I really cannot believe it, but ever since 4th of July things have not slowed down. Finally I am finding some time on the road to write a bit.

So to fill everyone in, the 4th of July followed just like the last few years, with wonderfull afternoon storms wreaking the day! After an 8 hour rain delay we finally started racing. And needless to say I was mentally wrecked by that point. So not one of the best memories, but we got through it.

Now we are on the road and almost half way through the road trip of CA-OR-WA-IL-MI. Last weekend we race down in San Jose, and ended up having a really good Madison missing out on first place by only 2 points,17 to 19. Tonight we start another weekend of racing at the Marymoor Velodrome in Redmond, WA. I am feeling fresh and very ready to tear some legs off!

Tonight is the Miss and Out and the Madison, with a Scratch and Points race tomorrow.

Well time to get to the track. Bye for now.

Back in B-Town

I made it back from Phoenix, after an 13 hr drive through the night with my roommate Kiel. Luckily, the whole trip went very smoothly...I will post more later after I get a bit of sleep.

Oh life... what will you bring next?

Wow, being 22 and getting ready to graduate in December, having a long term goal that will not support you fully nor work with a full time job is all draining on the sprit and hard to imagine how it will all work out. But I guess this is what is part of the sacrifice that comes with having a dream. I guess this should be the best part of life, not being tied down with a family or stuck in a job because of a family, just a time to enjoy all the opportunities that one can dream of. Boy I only wish I could relax and enjoy the ride.

Burnaby Six - Day Two

Image
Photo Courtesy www.burnabysixday.com Day two was much better than day one in terms of the shock to my body. Day one was an extreme shock to the system but night two felt closer to a normal night of racing. Unfortunately, the world cup racers are still destroying us on the big gears. We are riding a 88in gear because the U-25 races are restricted to no bigger than this gear. Where as the world cup racers are used to riding between a 90 and 96in gear in the one day world cup madison races. We still believe that six day racing is a different game and thus the legs survive the six consecutive days much better when you start out on the small gear. So we will stick to trying to find our track spin, which is very important when trying to keep up on a smaller gear, as the big gears keep winding it up and taking laps. However the signs of some tired legs are slowly appearing, and we can only hope that by the end we will be able to climb our way back up to an honorable placing. Updates in...
