Oh yeah and had a killer Single Speed ride today it hurt real good, but weather was good no rain still a little cold but at least not wet. Might be wet enough to race the Single Speed this weekend..... we'll see. Late

Sea Otter Classic
Wow! It has been quite a busy past few days. Where do I start..... Well I left for Monterey on thursday and the plane filght there was quite boring and mondane nothing special. Got to CA ok and Matt picked me up and we headed off to Laguna Seca Race track, where the venue was. We ended up rolling in a bit late and we were supposed to find the compound of where our old high school team was camping, but it was about 11:30pm and we couldn't find anyone in the dark and I am sure no one liked it much that we were shining out lights into thier camps that late so we just kinda found a spot that looked cosey and just acted like we belonged hoping no one would say anything about the credentails that we didn't have to camp there.
The next morning we found out real campsite... it was pretty cool there were about 15 of us all camping in the same area and that ment a lot of moms that like to cook really good food! SCORE! So we road the course which was in prime condition came back and watch our buddy Nate score a 5th in the Jr. X Short track! NICE!
It is now Saturday the day of my short track race. Today was definetly not anywhere close to as nice as firday actually Sat. we got terential down pours! crazy winds and just mayhame. So I got ready for a mud fest. The only thing was they kept pushing back our race time! first 11am then 11:40 then 11:45 by the time 11:45 rolled aruond we had gotten to the start line finished out warm ups and ready ready to go....when they announced "OH yeah the race has been postponed until 2:45pm!!" So now we are all ready to go haven't eaten anything and have to wait another 3 hours! LAME! So I spent the majority of that time getting dry and warm from just beeing ing the raing for a total of 5 min. Once the race came around it was just a mudd slog fest and didn't go so well 16th for me on the day.
Suday was the long race. Beautiful day but really windy, but beautiful none the less had a real good start and was sitting pretty high comming into the 2nd of 2 19 mile laps but poped really hard at the end and just limmped on home... oh well.
I'll give more details later I gotta get ready for class. Late.

One Day and Counting
One day until I leave for the Sea Otter Classic in Salinas California. It should be good fun. Getting to see all my old Cali riding buddies is always good. Not to mention Sea Otter is just a sight to be seen, plus it will be SUNNY!! WOW!! For like 3 stright days! I am going to get spoiled then come back to clouds and rain... bummer. I'll try and get a bunch of pix from the race
Oh and I guess I didn't give a race report from the Capital Forest race a couple weeks ago.... it went pretty well. I was battling the whole time and there was only a few minutes seperating the top 3 from the top 15 a really close race for everyone. It was really awesome. Super muddy I had to do a complete overhaul on the bike just to get it to roll again.. Oh and I got 11th.
Well dad goes in to see the doc about surgery tommorow. He's hoping to have it on Monday, but we'll see what the doc says those guys seem to be pretty unpredictable. Well I got a Calculus test tommorow so I gotta get studying. I probably won't get to update until after Sea Otter so wish me luck.
