We're alive! That's all I got for now - that storm rolled through last night was a real doozy!

It started around 11 PM and When it finally started to die down it was around 2 AM or so.

The local TV station was saying at 2 AM that West Allis had received 4.7" of rain so far - with 3.5" falling in the 1 - 2 o'clock hour. Streets flooded, water in basements, rivers have overflowed their banks.

Good news? More on the way for this afternoon. Yippee Skippee!

Rhinelander Crystal Lake Classic - classic indeed! The Boy Scout camp opens it's doors for another weekend in the WORS circus tour. While the blue train was in full force we were a force to recon with. Congratulations to all who made the trip north (Megan, Keith, Mark, Chris, Travis, Jack, Paul, Sue, Mike, and those few others that I have yet to remember your names - SORRY!).

Race # 2 report for us:

Ben finishes 2nd in his age group - finishing 22 overall SPORT.

Lynne finishes 7th out of 9 in her age group - 16 out of 25 women Sport riders.

John finishes - enough said right! 7th out of 10 age grouper old guys - in top 100 of 135 total finishers in SPORT. That hasn't happened for a while!

Weather was terrific if not a bit cool for spectators. I found it great for racing. Next up is the Big Ring Classic in Wausau. Here's to another great course! No pictures to post. Check out Lynne's facebook for a couple of photos shee was able to take.

Drizzle and light rain began to fall during the middle of the Pro / Comp event - just enough from what I heard, to knock the dust down. A thrilling sprint to the finish by Brian Matter and Jesse LaLonde to top it all off. Multiple gears win this round.
