HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

It's been a while and just to touch base - Winter appears to have settled in for good - Santa Rampage was a blast on Saturday. Once I get my photos off loaded from the camera I'll share with you all.

Oh yes - the flicker site has been updated with the new Sheboygan pictures from Sunday's race - the site can be accessed by clicking on any of the past flicker links below.

A photo taken at the Bear Paw WORS race - when asked how do you guys do this crazy racing stuff I can show them this picture - Let the force be with you. Look Mom no need to keep the eyes open!

New pictures are up and ready for your viewing pleasure on the Flickr Site slideshow - WORS - Bear Paw 2009.

Photos from this past weekend's racing are up on FLICKR - Fall Fest & USGP Cyclocross.

Wow! What a difference a year and good weather conditions make.

Lynne and I raced the Chequamegon Fat Tire Fest yesterday.

After previewing the infamous Fire Tower Hill on Friday we were stoked for the race.

We awoke to dry and cool conditons with forecasted highs in the low to mid 70's. We both enjoyed the race with Lynne finishing in 3 hours 23 minutes and change. I finished in 3 Hours 5 minutes and change which was 27 minutes faster than last year. If you all remember Lynne had broken her collar bone last year 4 weeks prior to this race and couldn't partake in the cold / wet fun! Now she knows what it's like to race in almost perfect conditions.

Pictures to come out on our flickr page so check back soon for a link.

Racing this weekend went well - especially since both Ben & I were sick with a pretty nasty head-colds - hopefully mine will be gone by this weekend and Fat Tire Fest.

Being a parking Nazi rocks! I had a blast helping out at Alterra's rendition of the WORS circus. Team Extreme came through again. We helped and assisted no fewer than half a dozen racers through out the day. It gives me a good feeling inside to help out when we can. You guys Rock! And to top it off, our fearless leader Capt. Randy gets huge face / interview time on the local Fox affiliate - TV 6 at 10 PM.

My photos (taken mostly be Ben) are posted and up for your enjoyment.

Made it safe and sound back from Boulder and our climbing adventure for this year.

Drinking beer from a licorice straw? Nothing finer!


Safety first!



Blinky Butt - drinking beer from a licorice straw from Katy. Tosa's finest by Bubba (I think??).

The TOOL trying to figure out which end is up.

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!

Ben wins a couple photo contest catagories in the WORS photo competition in addition to doing very well in the races themselves, he's now an award winning photographer too!
