Tuesday KC Crit Overall Points as of 4/29/08
Time to line up for another Tuesday KC Crit. Pretty good turnout for the races tonight and it felt pretty quick. Constant attacks from the gun kept it rolling until a break of 6 got off. Cam and I made the break with Shadd, Adam, David, Phil Gronniger (Ithink), and one other Epic dude. The one Epic dude dropped off and then it was 5. Shadd and Adam were nice and didn't attack the group until the end.
On a somewhat sad note, Cam and Amber have decided to move on from the the Trek Store to another shop in town. As they say, the offer was just too good to pass up. Can't blame them for doing what they felt was best for their future. Oh well, it's not like they are moving away so we'll see them around. Gonna miss ya at the shop guys.
Go Noah!
Poppa Kevin had a good weekend as well with a 4th overall in the Pro 1-2 race. Could of rode the 40+ race but he still likes to mix it up with Brian Jensen and the rest of the fast guys in the Pro 1-2 races.
I know a lot of you raced this weekend somewhere, and a few more were planning on racing but got rained out at the last moment. I was actually going to go out to Perry for the MTB race but I'm sort of glad it rained out after riding today. More on that later.
Eli had his 1st T-ball game and I got roped into coaching the kids in batting. Pretty scary considering I never made it beyond 3rd grade ball. IT was fun and I know most of the kids anyway. Game 2 was Jonas's B-ball game. His team has some players and they ended up crushing the other team 17-0. Fun to watch and they want nothing to do with my coaching skills, even better.
This game was followed 15 min later by soccer games for both Jonas and Eli with the same start times.
Sweet soccer fields for Jonas's team. His team is not the best but he loves it and tries hard. Tough sport so he gaining fitness every week.
So after finding out the MTB race was rained out Scott and I decided to ride up to Leavenworth. I felt like someone stuffed a sock down my throat most of the ride. Got to love antibiotics. That's why I said I was glad I ended up not racing earlier. Good 4 hour ride so I can't complain.
Cam's new 29'er Team Issue Superfly finally arrived today at the shop. Don't start looking for one of these on the showroom floor anytime soon. There's only three of them made for the 29'er wrecking crew and as you can see it's a little different than your regular Superfly. Check out those slider dropouts and custom Bontrager rear hub! The special graphics are pretty cool as well. Can't wait for the parts to arrive so we can get it rolling.
Cam's going to be flying with this rig!
So another Tuesday nit crit is in the books. Beautiful weather greeted us for the first time this year. I was a little leery of how I would feel due to the fact that I finally found out why I was struggling with my fitness. More on that later.
so I punched it with Joe and Cam on my wheel. I took 2 long hard pulls to help get us away but unfortunately I couldn't recover and mentally blew. Cam and Joe were way out there and just waited for Shadd to shake loose from the field and join them. Once that was done deal the pack just waited for the field sprint. I ended up 3rd in the field sprint, 6th overall. Not too shabby for being one sick dog.
