hmmm, not much to post. Da boy crashed again at BMX. Wicked digger hitting some marbles in the first berm. Got up and shook it off tho. He is getting tougher.

Spent 8 hrs clearing Platte sunday. Have blisters on top of blisters. Hoping for a big crowd for the sunday bacon ride as the lodge closes this weekend and the buffet is over till spring. Got in a solid ride wed @ platte with the bike way boys. tossed the chain twice into the 16t. can't wait for gears next year. It is gonna rock. i'd love to get it under 20lbs if possible.

day of fail..

went to manawa 12 hr and died before 6 was over. It was too damn cold and i forgot my tights. Cold knees locking up in the first 4 laps. not good.... rolled up in a blanket for an hour to warm up and went and tried to ride more. got in 2 more and was in severe knee pain both laps. not worth blowing them up this close to cross season. need more road/cold temp riding....

hmm, not much to post aboot. Got some decent rides in. The Kula has developed a nasty dry creak. Like a broken frame creak. Like i already broke my Explosif this year, breaking another Kona would suck. If you can break those, what's next? Bike Way is pulling the cranks and bb again and see if it is a broken frame, broken crank arm or what....

Tried to race bmx sat, but my wrist is still hosed. Can't grip the bars right to jump...

Kid took 3rd friday night and bought the farm on the triple. Did pretty well getting up and getting moving again. Managed to finish the race and qualify for the main the next heat. He is getting better each week. He had no chance sat tho. Got stuck in masters expert. Dude was knocking off 36 sec laps. It was amazzzzing...

went out for a cruise with the bike way guys tonight. we ran around platte till dark. wrist was sore so i went pretty easy. matt threw down thru the ravine and lost it over some rocks. got his head, shoulder and hand. so as they always say...wear your helmet!!!!!!!!!!!!! it could have been really nasty had he not been wearing his helmet. we'll see how he feels this morning. otherwise it was a solid ride...

think i'll go back to the bmx track tonight and play some more....

welp, kid ran his 2nd race tonight. He was once again grouped with the 16-25 experts because there were no other people in his class. He got wooped pretty good as expected, but wants to keep going after it....

i'll give him credit for sticking with it. He is getting faster and hopefully some more people will join his class. gotta get myself healed up so we can go out and practice some more...

welp, i did it today...

was showing the boy how to pump the rhythm section at the bmx track and ate it hard. I went for one last run before we left and hammered up to the tabletop before the rhythm section. Snapped the chain going up the face and went over the bars and down the backside. Got both knees, right one looks like a cantalope and doesn't bend. Got my thigh, arm, shoulder and both wrists to boot. Had a big ride planned tomorrow. we will see how i am feeling in the morning....

time to get ready for the boys race...
