Race Preride

Rode the race course in Capital Forest today, well at least this weeks. The course seems to be changing weekly but the race is Sunday so I hope this is the last tweak. It was pretty good, the climb is a gnarly one, not unmanageable but hard. it gets real steep at the top probalbly around 19 to 21 deg. slope. The climb will be about 50 min. long. But the way back down is so much fun! One of my favorites in the forest. It just flows really well and you can roll it really fast, but it still has its technical sections. I wish I was in a little better shape going in to the race though but it is just so early season that its not time to start winding it up, when Nationals is in July. I am going to try and get some more pix to post. More later. Late.

Pops Comes Home

My dad comes home today. Actually I am going to get him right after I get done writing this. So thats the good news. And we are both pretty stoked about it. I think that he is just board out of his mind and tired of having a IV in him, and I can't wait to get off the "cot" I've been sleeping on in the hospital (its more like some springs with a sheet over it). Well gotta go get him. Later.

One More Day!!

So my dad is doing much better still in a little pain but nothing compared to the other day. We thought he might be going home today but no luck, he'll be home tommorow though. So thats the latest. Oh yeah also he's pretty excited, because he got his 24 hour IV out today and now is only on IV for an hour at a time so he can walk around and get out of his room. So we went for a walk today but we didn't know that we couldn't leave our floor so as we were getting on the elevator we had a nurse running after us telling us that we couldn't do that.Brechwalds causing trouble, something new..... Oh well. More later. Late.

Hospital

Hey So I have been at the hospital with my dad since yesterday. He was put in at first for appendicitis then after a bunch of test they decided it was a perforated colon. So they decided not to do surgery and he spent the night at the hospital last night and we just waited for word if there was going to be surgery today but good news is that no surgery today there isn't a hole in the colon it is just infected so another 24 hours on IV antibiotics and hopefully we'll be home tomorrow. So he is doing well and we are just watching movies and chillen out.And once the infection is mostly cured he will probably have to go in for surgery, but we are taking it one day at a time for now. Thanks for reading. More tomorrow. Late.

Spring Break!

Finally! It seemed like it would never get here but finally school is done! For a week at least. And oh man the last day was hard! The Calc final was one of those test that you study everything you can think of and you sit down and forget everything you just studied and struggle through the whole thing. Well at least its over now I can 't wait to start enjoying my break today I have to work all day but tommorow I think we are going to be able to hit the slopes. Hopefully it doesn't rain up there today and we can take advantage of the snow they got on Tuseday. I'll try and get some pix this time.

This one is from when we went a couple times ago. It was snowing pretty good and hard, quite a change from last week when we were really hot and got sunburned. Off to work now Late.

Finals!!

Oh man so I know I have been really lame the past week or two not updating and all but to tell you the truth this has been the last thing on my mind. I have been going all out with school, its finals week this week and last week was the week that every teacher had a test (or 2) and a project due, so to say the least I am a little fried! But today is my last final Calculus. So we'll see how it goes I've done a lot of studying so hopefully it pays off.
I've also been training pretty hard just to get away from the books a lot of riding out in the forest which is awsome. The conditions are pretty hit or miss somedays its not so bad others are filled with lots and lots of snow that usually melts off before a day or two and it goes back to muddy Cap Forest conditions.
Oh yeah and Riss and I hit the slopes last friday. We are hoping to get a couple more days of skiing in. They just got 6-8 much needed inches of snow so we hope to go back Friday.
Well I am going to go cram just a little more for my final wish me luck.

I'l hopefully get more time to update later. sorry so short but I want to go to bed. Late.
