Weekend Update:

Rode 30 + miles on Saturday morning on the road with Tommy S. Check out the You Tube video I posted a link to the other day. All part of Senior prank day at Sowt Milwaukee High Screwal.

Drove to Crystal Ridge to remove the face slappers that had been giving me fits the past couple of weeks during our Wednesday night races.

Sunday - rode 30 + on the road again with the much better half.

WORS #4 - Phillips

No pictures for this week's race.

Update:

Lynne finisahed second in her class, 6th overall. Good for her.

I finished 8th in my age group and 68th overall. Not bad for a race that started out dry! I say started out dry and you're thinking oh brother it rained again. You are correct. It started raining after the first lap and a half. Thunder and lightning added to the event. Dry and dusty conditions quickly turned into wet and greasy in some spots.

Anyhow, I finished without any incidents or accidents. I had heard a comment that one unfortunate rider crashed into a tree and smashed the TREK TopFuel carbon frame he was racing. He too ended in the hospital for observation with a suspected concussion - possible broken collar bone too.

That's all for now.

Welcome to Wausau Sand & Gravel - OOPS - I mean The Big Ring Classis Marathon Race, A light drizzle welcomed us to the start line. After a rousing GOOOOO the sky opened up. Not a down pour mind you but enough rain to turn the trails into slick & greasy climbs followed by wet and sloppy downhills.

Once when the rain threatened to lighten up, you guessed it, it rain harder. The Top Fuel work almost flawlessly. Nearing the end of my last lap the demon chain-suck tried to rear it's ugly head. Not a really impressive finsih for me (22 out of 27 or so finishers) but Lynne rode quite well finishing 2nd again.

A proud big brother - Sam the man and his new baby brother (Evan) - hanging out like pro's.
