thursday

today we went on just a little cuise around kenosha, but from the beginning i knew it wasn't going to be good. when jeremey and gage first got to my house jeremey didn't have his gloves or his helmet. so we started riding towards there house to get his helmet. after he had gotten his helmet and we were back on the road it was over to the velodrome for us. we did quite a few laps over there. gage was still trying to get used to the track a little bit. after that we headed out on the little paved path thats by the velodrome going south. we got up to that rode and took it toward the lake. just as we were getting going down that way gage flated so jeremey gave gage his front wheel then as jeremey was riding away to go get picked up i got a flat so he gave me his rear wheel. so jeremey got picked up from where we were and me and gage headed out and did a little ride down by the lake.

wednesday

today we went up to crystal ridge for the wednesday night race. I did pretty good on the first lap and then i was riding smoothly with a fast group when i went down. i lost my water bottle but didn't know it. when i went to reach for it right after i got up and it wasn't there i had to go back and get it so i lost that group and started cramping so i slowed way down. i was still the first junior even though there were only 3 of us.

spring prarie road race

today was the state championship road race. i got first gage got second and nate got third in age and fourth overall. we started with a neutral mile up to the top of the hill which was really easy. every one who wasn't going to be with us was off the back right away. after our group was all together the first person off the back was because of a flat. the climb after he got a flat i tried fly the coup and i almost got off but i died and couldn't get up the hill as hard as i wanted to and got caught. that same lap nate tried to fo on an attack on the down hills but couldn't so then i tried to continue it but coundn't and then gage tried and couldn't so we gave up for that round. on that hill we just sat up and sat a wheel. nothing happened the second lap until the final sprint when evan was leading it out with nat on his wheel and me on his wheel and gage on my wheel. right away at the very bottom i went and ended up making it. i felt really strong so i just went. nate and evan were ahead of gage but died at the top and gage passed them. nate just didn't have it in him to kick it with gage so he ended up fourth with gage in second.

thursday

today we went riding out at pets and i didn't feel good.

tuesday

tuesday was a wierd day. during school i was expecting bmx after school but then it got rained out so i had my first and probibly last track night of the year. before any racing though me, jeremey, and gage went for a quick road ride. at track i got a third in my first race which was a 3 lap sprint. in the second race, a snowball, i got sixth. i raced like crap. so i was all mad when my mom went to get me mcdonalds. when she got back it was 2 races away from my race. i ate fast and then had no time to warm up plus i had a new gear on that i wasn't ready for. i got lapped like 3 or 4 times. it wasn't my day.

pets

origanally we were going to go out to palos but then that didn't work so we were going to go to crystal ridge then it rained so we stayed in town and went to pets. we rode there from my house and then rode PETS for a while. it was super hard after yesterday but i felt pretty good. after the ride we rode back to my house.

big hills

today me, gage, and jeremey went out to the state road race coarse to do some hill sprints on the big hill. we ended up doing 4 hard hard ones one pretty hard one and one warm-up one. after that we rode around the area on a couple of roads that jeremey knew about. even those roads out there were pretty hard. i was feeling great the whole time though. overall it was a good ride.
