Skinny #1 Racing

Well, this was pretty much one of the worst races ever. On the start line, a couple of guys thought it would be really cool to change the race from three laps to four. Well, that would be cool if we were planning on it and prepared, but as it was I wasn't ready for it. I was pretty strong after the first two, but it was tough because mud was jammed in my frame (what a surprise) so I couldn't shift into my little ring for some of the climbs. After that I just kind of limped in to finish. A lot of guys dnf'ed so I don't feel too bad. It was a really tough race though, and I'm glad that it is over.

I set up my hardtail yesterday/today, and looks like I'll be racing on that rig the rest of the season. I already have pretty much everything dialed except for the fork and front brake, which is still really squeaky. I even rode today because I couldn't wait to ride my new rig, which is quite sweet if I do say so.

I just got back from the golf course where I got eaten alive. The best part about living in Colorado for nine months was the lack of flies. Today, it was a constant battle; me vs. the flies. The back of my neck is probably covered in blood and I probably killed at least 500 flies today, and that's no exaggeration. I wonder if Colt's actually showering right now...
