Just call me 9004

I did the WORS Series Registration (not all-in-one) but I got assigned 9004 which for those of you who are playing @ home is Male Sport Singlespeed. I will be rocking the Trek "Cogitory"w/ pride. Hopefully I will actually bring home a few decent finishes including a podium or two would be nice.

I'm hoping that on Wednesday I will be able to pick up my Redline Monocog, bad thing is I have to drive all the way to Rockford to get it.

Words Cannot Describe how happy I am...

That I did not take part in Trans Iowa. The course was cut short @ the 240 mile mark around 4am ish. Former teammates Aris Peters and Constantine Peters Exact mileage is unknown to me at this time. I'm fairly certain they made it past checkpoint 1 but I'm not 100% certain and I know they quit sometime before 9pm putting them in the 100-170 mile neighborhood. If the course conditions would have been hospitable it more than likely would have been an entirely different story for all parties involved.

Next week I'm planning to go up Saturday morning to Iola, I would like to do some pre-ride. Some muscles are still on the mend a little from last weeks "Do the Rock". I was going to riding Saturday @ muir but the huge amounts of rain we got saturday screwed that idea up.

You know that Bike Raffle that RC Trail Crew had @ Rock Cut

ya, well I will be the prowd owner of a new Monocog 29er soon. Its $10 mountain bike Race ready, how many people can say that.

Last weekend didn't happen

I woke up on Saturday with good intentions but ended up just doing some cleaning and unpacking. Exciting huh? This weekend I'm all but entirely certain I will do Great Dane #1 as it is one of the few races I have done both of the last two years, this sunday will be 3. In that same group is the Crit in Muskego, the Road Race in Baraboo which I think I'm going to miss this year, and the Elm Grove Criterium. I have done Iola on dirt both of the last two years, but I missed the spring race last year and did the September race instead. Same Course though. When in Madison I might try to squeeze some dirt in, but we'll see.

Century #1 and 24-9 Announcement

I'm possibly planning to do my first Century tomorrow on the Glacial Drumlin State Trail. W/ a planned departure @ 8am from the trailhead in Waukesha, at a minimum I will round trip Cottage grove unless I'm ambitious and round trip Madison, but I'm thinking I don't want to kill myself this early in the season I'm not training for Trans Iowa. I could hurt myself and hamper further training. 104 Miles are garanteed, 52 miles each way. It won't be warm enough for shorts or short sleeves though, but I could probably do gloveless.



I have not formally made the announcement yet, but I'm saying today, the 4th of April 2008, I plan to enter the 24 hours of 9 Mile in the Solo Singlespeed category. I'm banking my entire year on that race. I plan to duo in the WEMS series and will be doing Sport Singlespeed for WORS, but those are just supplement, however I hope to win both of those series titles. My 24-9 Goal is simply put is 12+ laps and no significant time off the bike in the pits. As of right now, I have Ashley James to support me in the pits as the rest of my team will be focusing on their various team efforts, primarily focusing on the Mens Junior Team National Championship.

As the year progresses I might have 1 more 24 hour solo race announcement to be made.
