well i think this might be my last race, or last crit race for the season. Might try to find some TT stuff and see how I fair there.
I just don't know what it is, I just can't open the cans that I used to be able to open back when I was a 3. I mean I am a 2 now, so I am at the bottom of the cycling pit when it comes to p/1/2 races. It sucks, a lot cause all the big cool races are here/coming and I have no bullets in the chamber.
yesterday, the crit, where I was racing for RGF, that I was all super pumpt for and ready to take names, at least not get my name taken. Well, not so much. It opened up extremely fast, and I got shelled pretty fast.... LAME . BUT as I was making my way back, I saw Jeremy Grimm with a broken chain. And seeing as he is a meal ticket, I came in and gave him my bike and shoes. Got major recognition from the announcer, but thats no win... SHAME!
Oh well, today climbs, hopefully I can make it tick
I need this deal with RGF, I don't know how much longer I can afford unsponsored cycling.

IOWA!! Flat, kinda fast and AWESOME
So this past weekend, I had the choice of Elk Grove or the Iowa State Road Race.
Well as much as I love being rail around corners and eating my weight in brake dust, I opted for the road race, plus I could share a ride up there and stuff. Savin' money, yuh heard.
Anyway, Jamie (the feeder) and I got up at 5 in the am and rolled over to Stan's house. From there we hit up West Branch, IA.
110 miles of road racing, with rollers and little wind. A race of Attrition for sure. I love it.
Anyway, Mercy was there reppin' along with Bikes to you and all 9 yards. those were the three main teams.
Clark Priebe and I tried a million times to get something going, but no avail; everything was being chased by teammates (really?)
Anyway, he got away and soloed for like 1.5 laps, my plan was to let someone else chase and I would just tail gun. But we got another split rollin' and we pulled Clark back in and were swallowed up shortly there after. CRAP
Anyway, long story short, wittled the race down got in every break. missed the last one, picked up 11th.
oh well, no team, that's a pretty solid result.
RGF weekend, super nervous
