A WIN!!

And don't say I poached ;-) Clint Chase or Matt Hill wouldn't like you then.

Yes, I won the Wenatchee Omnium for Masters A overall, plus the Malaga RR (I must add Kerry flatted 2nd time up the climb!)

Of course I'm coming down with a cold now! Might take a sick day tomorrow and try to recover.

Hey, I've been using wedges on my shoes to get more power from my pedal stroke, they work really well. They only cost $24.95 and I would suggest everyone try them out. I just feel like I'm getting more power in my pedal stroke, and you all know how screwed up my pedal stroke looks!!
Contact Paul Swift at , paul at bikefit dot com and tell him I sent you, you will be glad you did it.

Kungfuku and things

Wow! What a surprise to most of us, Chris Daifuku took the State RR in fine style last Sunday for Team First Rate. He did have two great breakaway companions who worked really well with him. What can you say about David Zimbelman? At 53 yrs old tearing the legs off guys less than half his age!
There was a bad crash that took out Neil Casserly, who broke his arm and cut his face pretty badly (I've been there), so hang in there Neil, we're thinking of you.

Wenatchee is this weekend, I'm racing masters, unlike Mr Z, I am too slow to climb with those young guys, who can ride, and rest as much as they need.

I see Team Axley are skipping Wenatchee, to "poach" the TTT in Oregon ;-)

That reminds me everyone's favorite rider shall be know henceforth as Popeye. Rob hurt his back getting his "Yacht" ready for the trip to Longbranch, and it was noticeable in the race, he was not his usual self.

That's all I've got for now.
