We were graced with Molly Cameron, Tim Van Nuffel, Francis Mourey presence at the mwi compound. That made for a busy weekend for the whole crew. Pitting for Molly, TVN, Steve Fisher, and Brian Matter added to the excitement of the weekend.

SWMO Dirt Crit #6

Low turnout last night, but still some quality guys. LBS demo'ed me a Specialized 29er (never ridden on before) for the wide open 'roadie' course and it was a good choice (terrain too rough for the 'cross bike). Stuck with leaders (two guys) threw 1 1/2 laps then got gaped for rest of the race. Finished third (again) and got in a solid 40 minute suffer-fest. Bike driving ability is on the rise as these events are forcing me to be smoother with much more flow then ever before; if this keeps up by the time I am 50 I'll have 'Crusty Like' skillz (smooth as margarine).

Tried and tried to arrange schedule to play with the boys this weekend in Madison, but family and work is keeping me south. Heading to KC on Sunday for the inaugural Manion's CX for a double (Masters and then 2/3 race). Good luck this weekend fellow Jackalopes and ride 'em if you got 'em.

When it Rains it Pours (Literally)

Instead of re-entering the saga take a look HERE for the full scoop.

Quick summary: Fitness and bike driving is on the rise and feeling great, don't EVER use Challenge latex tubes, I need to learn to glue tires better, Her'Crust'ules breaks out in gymnastic moves for no reason during races, pop-up campers are not water-tight, insurance is always a good thing to have (luckily I do), and Crusty is BANNED from every camping with me again (so far has lost a tent and a camper when he is involved).
