Long time, no speak...

So - there's no excuse for the lack of posting.

I'm slack - deal with it!

What's been happening? Well, the April Circuit race out at Draper went well. I didn't place BUT I did manage to escape the 15-or-so rider pile up (and I was closer to getting wiped out than I thought!). A good friend of mine got ridden over and ended up in hospital with broken ribs and a punctured lung. No bueno. The shitty side of this is that the local clubs are now no longer willing to put on a Circuit Race as part of our "Summer Series", so I have to get my kicks elsewhere.

My current line-up of races/rides are:

June 21st
Oklahoma State Championship Road Race, OKC, OK

July 25th
Dehydrator, Duncan OK

August 8th
SpinYourWheels, OKC OK

August 28th-29th
Hotter Than Hell, Witchita Falls, TX

September 13th
OBS Streak, Edmond OK

Some road races, some tours (which always just turn into a mash-fest, so it'll be good practice and should yield some good data from the Powertap)

Oh yeah - I'm renting a PowerTap from work. Great little tool so far. Love it. May have to get one sometime soon. Getting some great feedback about my riding style and (local PowerTap guru and all-round top man) Joey Mesa has looked at some of my files and suggested ways for me to get over my "Race Pace" bonking which is currently killing my ability to hang with the lead pack.

Hey ho - it's all a learning curve, innit?
