Catching up

We've been very busy since last post. Wednesday night's BMX went very well. The boys are doing great and this week we've decided to go on monday and wednesday. They also want to enter the actual race that follows the practice session. I'll let you know the results tomorrow.

I missed the saturday ride due to an alarm clock error. I think part of it may have been my body telling me I was exhausted. I made good on it on sunday though. I rode the recovery ride sunday morning which gave me about 48 miles of which I tried to pull as often as possible while we were riding into the wind. My plan is to ride tuesday and thursday. 

My first road race is this saturday. I'm a little nervous due to the fact that I've never competed in one. On top of it, there is only one other guy that I know of on our team that is racing Cat 5 so I won't have much help on the course. I'm going to try and glean any and all information I can about road racing from my friends this week. This race should be interesting!

Re: the road race . . . put a post on the "Road Ride" section of the SORBA forum (http://www.sorba.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=11) asking for some pointers. There's a huge roadie trend going on right now so it's a good time to ask. And you'll get plenty of answers I know. I'd say mention that I sent you but that may end up hurting instead of helping . . .

No riding this weekend. Saturday we were blasted by massive thunderstorms with a tornado or two in the general area (no touchdowns near us). Yesterday Lori spent a good part of the day preparing for her classes this week. I fought a headache . . . and lost . . .

Can't wait to hear how the boys race went.

Seriously - post on the forum. You'll get some good advice . . .
