US GRAND PRIX OF CX!!!!










It was awesome!!!! The course was so muddy, that nearly a quarter of it needed to be run!!! It was so much fun too. We watched the pro races and Tim Johnson...9 ball... won it the first day with a giant gap before Todd Wells came along for 2nd. They pounded through the mud so ridiculously fast. There was also a huge stair case to run and the other side was this dh. @ the bottom the mud was your enemy and so crazy but no prob for Tim J.

The second day was even HARDER!!! the mud was so hard to pound through because I raced it and it was so much fun!!!...even though i crashed countless amounts of times into poles and such:). I also stuck around and watched the pro race... more like taunting and screaming... Tim J could not race b/c he hurt his knee the day before... couldn't imagine how fast he would have gone if he didn't hurt his knee . We put dollar bills in the mud and it was so funny when people grabbed em'. 1 guy even put one in his teeth and a rider grabbed it w/ his teeth... hilarious!! Any way, Todd W ended up battling his own bro troy to come out with the win, and Jamie Powers in 3rd. I made a couple friends... that I'll prob only see next year. Drew was parked next to me and he came in 2nd overall and he was really cool. I just wish'd I got info to contact him. The whole race was so schweet and I can't wait for it to come around again.

My first post. HMMMMM... Anyway, I have had Thursday & Friday off for a "teachers' convention"... in Atlantic City. SURE, but whatever gets me out of School :).

I took the time off to try to ride, yet Thursday was nasty:(, but Friday I rode with Larry, and my friend Joe, who can't own enough bikes... don't blame em'. We ended up riding at like 4 and it was so depressing cuz it already started to get dark. We took a nice easy ride for Joe's sake of a hurt shoulder. We all ended up coming out when it was really dark just following one light! lots o' fun :)
