my flickr account has been maxed out. I have photos and stories to share. Even better a new gadget for my cross bike.. that’s not so new. In order to share this I have to wait until my account resets tomorrow.
In the mean time (or total time in bewtween posts). Enjoy this very pixelated video of me and my youngest daughter ripping trails and fire roads on my 40 year old tandem I so affectionately refer to as sweet ride.
She loves it. She sings and screams for to go faster. My older daughter says it’s not fair because sweet ride is so fast.
Did I mention the P123 field at Topsfield handed my ass to me?
Raced more this year than ever, and most of that racing was on a DH mtn bike. Without going into boiler plate race reviews and reports I will recap like this:
My results got better each time I raced. I learned what it takes to be there at the end. Enough so that I was able to upgrade a category.
Next up:
Topsfield with the big boys. It’s gonna hurt.
Portsmouth Crit
Then cyclocross season. Bike is currently being tuned for racing. Even worked a new gizmo for my bike. I’ll share that after I’m sure it works well.
I have a full plate for cross. Even have some west coast company coming to visit. I plan to show him what foliage is all about.
Geoff and I riding near the front of the Concord Crit. We we there the whole race. Even for the bell lap. I waited too long to sprint which left me at 7th. Still please with the result and every one before and after it.
I took a ton of photos, here are a few of my favorites.
I know. Short of words. For someone that writes all day I should be full of it. So short that I am unable to write my monthly column for Friends of Bell Isle. Not just short on words but time. If I’m just now writing and posting photos about races that happened a month ago…
