busy, busy...

To pick up where I left off...

After the Granogue race we stayed at mimi's and Pete's which is right down the street from Ludwig's corner. Had a great dinner prepared by our very generous hosts. It was like being on vacation! After dinner we got watch a movie on the home theater system, man is that sweet. Problem was I only made it through the first 5 minutes of Herbie, Fully Loaded, before I went to sleep.

The Wissahickon race went reasonably well, all things considered. I did get myself taken out on one of the first corners. Some guy was trying to sneek on the inside and we bumped, well I go the worst of it, landed right on my back!
It was kind of crazy having bubba and pappy there. Their first time watching me race, too bad it wasn't when I was faster...

I did the Lehigh Velo Cross the following Saturday. MUDDY! Check out some of Dennis' photos. I was pretty happy that I didn't get all disgusted with the whole thing. The one race I did last year in similar conditions had me dropping out after a half lap. I think the fun course had a lot to do with hanging in there and having a good time.

Anyway, I've been busy with school the past few weeks. We had a group presentation, I think we had something like 150 power point slides!

Yeah it was frickin' long probably close to 2 hours. By the time it was my turn to present my final part, I did the intro as well, I was ready for the thing to be over and I could tell that we had "lost" most of the class by that point. I flew through my slides just to get the thing over with...I hope it wasn't too noticeable.

sorry about the lack of updates. My class is over the first Tuesday in December!
