Here I am all packed up and ready to go to the 24 hour race at Seven Springs

my bike is ready to be sold, what a sad day.

Here's my new Six13 with an SRM. I weighed in at 15.5lbs before pedals and cages.

Here I am with Miss Pennsylvania in Baltimore at the national student nurses convention.

I've been training hard, mostly inside. I actually did a 40 mile outside ride this morning and got soaked but it was great. School is still tough but I generally still have enough time to squeeze in a late night trainer ride every day. I just got a set of Mavic Carbones on my TT bike. They look great but they were out of true so Rich has them at his shop right now. When I get them back I'll post a pic.

Trainer time again

It's that time of the year again to break out the trainer, dust it off and start sweatin' to the oldies. Oh what fun it is to ride......

Here I am finishing The Iron Cross III, America's longest cyclocross race
I can't say I did all that well but I finished and had a good time

Nick charging hard at the New Bethlehem Peanut Butter Festival. Nick ended up finishing second in his age group despite the wasp nest

Mike at the New Bethlehem Peanut Butter Festival. Mike also finsihed third in his age group, too bad about the wasps.

Here's Alex racing toward the finish at the race earlier today. His fourth place finish overall was the best on our team with Mike finishing seventh and Nick finishing twelfth. Both Mike and Nick had an unfortunate incounter with a nest of wasps. I tried another MTB race today but after only about a mile my chain and derailure hanger cracked putting an early end to my second try at xc racing. Alex also finished first in his age group

First MTB race

I did my first MT bike race today. The plan was for me to lead out Nick to the trail and get him a big enough lead to be first on the trail and then he could destroy the field. It worked and he had a good lead and then his chain broke, twice! Nick ended up finishing 12th. As for me, I'm a terrible Mt biker but I finished and hope to improve, I know I can't get any worse.
