To Bend

This entry was posted in Racing on by .

Up and moving. Got to get on the road. Here are some photos. I can’t really complain too much about the last two days. I enjoy adventure. I am under no stress. Catherine, on the other hand, probably isn’t as stress free as I (having to race in less than 24 hours and still 10 hours in a car left). Here are some photos.

We stopped by Ft. Collins to see a friend, Amanda Miller (Snake Alley winner, new TIBCO signee) who was working at a Specialized Concept Store.  We nearly had her talked into getting in the van.  She blew a nice white knuckle experience.

Outbuilding at the road closure on I 80 in Laramie Wyoming.  Should of went in there before we headed south to Steamboat.

Since we were driving through Steamboat, we stopped by Eriksen Cycles and saw Kent.

Catherine trying to burn off some extra energy, riding in her UGG boots in the back of Kent's shop.  (She was trying to show off her Eriksen Cycles shirt. )

Okay, made it.

Made it to Cyclo-X Nationals. Got up early to pre-ride the course. Here’s the deal. I can’t race. I would of raced. I fell a few days ago and screwed up my thumb badly. Badly enough it needs surgery to fix. Okay. There you go. I hate making excuses. I thought maybe this morning I could have still raced, but no. Even at 8 degrees at 7 am, I must of answered the racing question dozens of times. The course is icy and very turny. A good course, but it needs more riding sections. It is all snow and ice right now. Got to get going. Catherine races in an hour and a half.
