I was feeling pretty good after taking two days off to rest and recover from the Schlitz park and Carl Zack crits, which are from my experience, the hardest crits of this series. (more…)

It’s been about a week since Eric and I left Austin for Superweek. Five races later, I’m finally getting around to doing some official updates.

For starters, the racing up here is super hard as expected, but unlike last year, I’ve been able to finish every race so far, and actually got in the money two days in a row (31st at Alpine Valley on Monday and 20th at MGA Proving grounds the following day).

If you want to tag along, check out my mobile phone blog for up to the minute updates. The mobile blog (or moblog) is a website I update with my cell phone usually when I’m driving back from the races. Because I update it with my cell phone, it usually contains numerous spelling, punctuation, captialization, and gramatical errors.

I’ll also be posting updates to the official race report section when I feel like doing a real write up. (Expect a write-up of the MGA Proving grounds race real soon now.)

I’m definately doing five more races before we leave after Downer’s Avenue, and might do even more if I’m feeling up to it.

in a nutshell:
A small group got up the road almost from the gun.
A larger group bridged up them and formed a strong break of 19 that began putting serious time on the peleton.
The main pack stayed together and was calm for the first 3/4 of the race, every once and a while, a small group would get up the road and either fall back or dangle out in no-man’s land.
Steen attacked shortly after the feed zone and was followed by one other rider.

What was left of the peleton split up in persuit of them. I found myself in a chase group of about 8 that joined Steen’s smaller group on the crosswind section after a half-lap chase. (more…)

The Maritime Bay Classic, was the first event Eric and I did after arriving in Wisconsin. (more…)
