Skinny #1 Racing

Well CSU ended up getting third at mountain bike nationals...no thanks to our "endurance" team. Two of our four riders that we sent DNF'ed in the cross countr. One was because his "CO2 didn't work" and the other because apparently, he broke his chain, and then broke his chain tool. I don't know about you guys but I ALWAYS carry two CO2s with me, for that exact reason. As Salem Mazzaway would say, "How much does a CO2 cartridge weigh?" As for breaking a chain tool, I don't even know how one would go about doing that. Oh well, third is pretty good either way...even if we did send a less than stellar team. I still don't know whether I'm going to race collegiate next year or not. First of all it's so expensive...our team nickel and dimed us the whole year. They charged $35 for travel to each race, and then we had to pay $40 for race entry fees each week, not to mention the money we had to spend on food. That puts us up to about $100 just to race each weekend. Oh well, maybe next year things will be run a little better and people will realize that buying $15,000 worth of clothing isn't the primary need of the team.

On a lighter note, I have a couple new favorite songs. The first one really isn't a favorite, I just like it. It's "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas, it's such a catchy song. My real favorite song though, is "Freewill" by Rush. It's just so good.
