im gonna need to build a new fixed gear. im really craving it. and the fixed conversion isnt really doing much for me anyway. i can use this craving as an excuse to learn how to build wheels, or at least try. but otherwise nothing new, work 4-8 tonight just like every other night.
i hung out with sullivan and g dawg last night, but stevo was nowhere to be found.
speaking of stevo and gdawg, they are working on a sweet new MTB trail that looks kinda like this. i know it doesnt look like much, but trust me theres lots of potential.

Maybe the foto guy from FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS will publish the pics so i can put them up.

cross kicks rear. come on, august and cross really work well together, why is cross season so late, its almost more fun than road, minus field sprints and long climbs. I really like the technical tight turns and different style surface. i really dont like SPD pedals, coming off my SPD-Sl road pedals and then not even practicing before the race on the mountain shoes was dumb. i probably would have had third place if it werent for the dumb pedals, but it was my first cross race so really im not upset, theres just some practice needed. maybe a barrier setup to practice the whole on the bike off the bike thing in the back yard.

whats hot-

• Cross racing
• Chris giving me his cross bike which performed flawlessly for the FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS race tonight
• long training ride tommorrow
• sullivan coming home from vacation, i think
• Bunnyhopping the barriers, ingenious

Whats not-

• 50 riders in the 4/5 field with 3 crashes on the first lap
• Denali
• SPD pedals

Maybe some fotos later if moms camera skill was up to par, otherwise ill wait for the professional photographer to post his stuff....

done.

First blog post. im not quite sure how this is gonna be because, well honestly, this summer hasnt really be to exciting. Montreal was awesome, likewise lake placid, but other wise i do the same thing everyday.

• wake up
• eat
• ride
• eat
• history work for school
• eat
• work
• eat
• fall asleep on the couch

Repeat.

thats summer so far, mixed in some racing, in which my only result happened to be during nationals when only the mediocre kids showed up. 3rd wasnt bad.

I rode mountain bikes for the first time, that was sweet got real muddy. then the awesome place i was staying at, get this, washed the bike for me.

yep somebody else washed my bike for me.

then yesterday i went riding with chris, that was cool. probably will do that a few more times before he goes to vermont.

tomorrow is......

SUMMERCROSS, my first cross race, at the state fair. yep ill put picks up if they dont come out like last time. examples of the digicam will be posted below.

moms camera makes cat 4 races look soooooooo fast.

I mean really look that blur of a race.

i dont even know how this pic got on my computer, but its a person in a banana suit at work
