Mexico

Well i'm in mexico kicking it with mcduff. I'll take u back to friday in kansas chillin with powers on the flight in. Friday got to see all my friends from flc. Saturday rode to the course with mcduff, shark, georgia, chris (mike) jones. It was cold riding to the course. After the pre ride headed back to the hotel and left the bike in the lobby to de forst. Hat Trick took mcduff's bike through a auto car wash by putting the bike on the top of the car. Sunday i had a solid race and completed my goal for the cross season to have a more consistent season and a top 5 at natz. I flatted on the day but everyone had a problem out there so no reason to dwell on it. Sunday night began with 3 hrs at the water park. Hat Trick was like a 10 yr old i think he was cutting kids to get to the front of the line. After that we hit the yard house for dinner with the rents and then from there i don't even know where the night went. Tuesday morning todd and i sent off for mexico and now 3 days later we are set ready for a month on the beach.

ALB AIRPORT

Well i guess it is that time of the year. Im off to cross natz. I guess it was rough out there yesterday and now it is suppose to snow on saturday to which should make for some tough conditions on are race sunday. My form seems to becoming around with my one of my strongest races coming last saturday with a 4th in RI. I was even able to ride with mcduff for a little more than half the race. Sunday i hit the deck hard but i've been able to recover and look forward to giving it all i got this weekend. The FLC team will be out in force with around 12 riders that is a large crew to bring to kansas. At least this year they finally got it right and have the U-23 race on saturday and the collegiate race on sunday.

Here is sams video from RI.



The northeast got hit with about a foot of snow yesterday which left me having to leave for my flight early. ALB airport is still covered in snow hopefully my flight won't be delayed.

The entire Clif crew kicked it at a bed and breakfest we rented out for the weekend. Here is eric sporting the sweet robe.

My weekend went well with a 10th on saturday and 7th on sunday. Saturday i laid it down numerous times it took me 3/4 of the race to remember how to ride in portland. Sunday i had a much better day only to be slowed by a flat at around the 25 min mark when i was in 5th at that point but by the time i got to the pit and got my new bike was back to 10th.
