updates....

i have been a slacker when it comes to snapping recent pics or really having anything good to say here. got a few commute rides in, milder temps have been god and makes for a lighter bag to carry. last weeks chickenride went well and i need to make a post to the chicken page. it was spunky and had some good hard sections i was happy to be involved in.

memorial day weekend was spent around the house, instead of the usual cobbled climb, ride through the park and monday cage match i usually fill that weekend with. the crew did get out and i hooked up with them for a monday doosey out to fermi lab and back. we had a tailwind out, but we went much faster on the way home. there was some serious tempo section and a small break to wait for a few - that pause filled with a small gear drive thru criterium with ritzler, tawse, and i. ritzler gets credit for willing to push his team bike farther than the rest of us on slippery pavement. the roll in has several tough sections and some particular spice when we had a section of attacks and counter attacks to crack some legs. i finally got caught out, but rolled back in in time to punch early and launch RR for the western springs sprint. a great ride guys, thanx.



finally a get well soon to Barker who broke his collarbone and his rig down at the ed soto stage race.



big props to my prodigy chase for learning all about stage racing these last few weeks, and for taking it to the race by attacking 5 miles into the last race to go solo for 20 miles. he is really starting to learn about being a bike racer and learning how to feel out a race. he is definitely on his way to better form and hopefully some podiums at stupid week.
