saturday

today we went to the Elm grove crit put on by endeavor. the race was pretty boring even though there were a bunch of prems going out. i didn't get any of them but i think nate did. i just sat in and took a couple pulls. until the last two and a half laps. i went up the hill on the back side and held the lead until the end. i got 35 bucks and finally got back my bmx bike.

SATURDAY:today was the UW Whitewater crit. this was a very hard race for me because I walked around six flags for about 6 hours the day before. this race had a lot of stopping and starting with a scary fast decent. Sarah went down on the first lap at the bottom of the downhill where there was a very bumpy driveway. after that it was just caleb and peter on the front trying to pop us team mars people. when the last lap came nate took off at the perfect time and he won but when caleb went with him i didn't have the legs right away and chased to late and caleb beat me by about 1/3 of wheel. it was very close so i got third and gage ended up fourth in points and fifth overall

SUNDAY:today was the UW Whitewater road race. this was a pretty fun race because we had a big group and everyone was doing some work. half way through the first lap we caught the older age group that had started 5 minutes ahead of us. we sat on the back of that group for the rest of that lap then right after the finish line we passed them and then they passed us on the downhill just for us to pass them again about two miles up the road. after that we stayed ahead of them until the finish. with a mile to go until the finish i was boxed in and no one was moving anywhere. up the final hill the kid from Michigan started the sprint and nate went with it right next to him. i had to go around caleb which i did and pass nate and Michigan kid which i did to get the win. I got the win with nate in third(winning the podium)and gage right after nate. i got a sweet lance armstrong poster for winning.

thursday

today I went on a short fairly easy ride with my sister over to pets then did a couple laps then came back. then later I went out with gage and we went to pets for hillclimbs then out to sanders for a couple of laps then back to pets for somemore hillclimbs.

wednesday

today we went up to crystal ridge to do the Wednesday night race. me and nate were just cruising with us having the three day race weekend(at least for him)for me it was only a two race weekend. we did three laps and i caught nate towards the end of the second lap and we just cruised the next lap then we waited for jeremey and gage to ride the last lap with them. nate just barely ended up beating me by 8 seconds.

tuesday

today was track in the night ride in the day. for the ride me and gage tried to go ride at pets while jeremey did a road ride due to a bad shoulder. it was soaked out at pets from yesterdays rain. so we did one little really hard loop a couple of times then road back to my house. at about 6 we headed out for the track. i raced my age race and constalation(not sure on spelling). i didn't do so good in the age races i got 2 thirds to sarah and chazz. but in constalation(spelling) i finished in the field on the lead lap. so i was very happy about that.

monday

today me my sister and andy went for a pretty easy cruise around kenosha. it was really windy out and i hammered for like the last two miles just going all out. after the ride we went over to andys and eventually ended up in the pool. and then rained so we got out so that we didn't get struck by lightning.

weekend

SATURDAY:today was the giro de grafton in grafton. it was a pretty fun race even though it was smoking hot outside. i got the pace of the race going right off the line because i was the first one cliped in. after that me and gage just sat on and made caleb and peter pull. there were a couple of prem sprints and i got one of them. it was tickets to a blues festival which we gave to kevin and amy. on the finishing strait peter was pulling and i came around him and won with gage right on my wheel. i won 75 dollars!

SUNDAY:today was the fon du lac crit. after getting lost on the way there, it rained on us during our race. it was an easy ride because we were going slow because of the slick turns. one kid ended up going down. but it was nothing bad. i ended up winning some sweet 70 dollar sub woofer headphones!
