Race Day

So me and the devil and maria decided to go up to Elk River for a mtb race on saturday. I took the day off from the shop, and got out the new shoes. Of course it rained. and when i say it rained i mean it poured like crazy. I was off the back from the start since 34x18 isn't the greatest gear for a 1/4mile road rollout. plus i may have still been all full of fat tire hangover from the night before. maybe that annual norba expert license wasn't the best choice i've ever made. so i got shelled off the back immediately, thoroughly soaked my brand new shoes, burned through a set of brake pads in a lap and a half and had to dnf after i started finding metal shavings where my brake pads should've been. i thought about flipping the wheel and riding fixxed, but i didn't have a lockring on. maria did, so she rode about 2.5 laps fixxed and brakeless and still won the women's field by like 5 minutes. and that's why my girlfriend is more badass than you .... and me.

so it looks like i'm probaly moving out of the traincar july first or there abouts, i've only been staying there like 2 nights a week anyhow. i figure its about that time. yep.
