Springs Here!

We had the first Kincaid Loop RR this weekend. It went really well. I was off the front a lot, attacked and set pace up the Hill, and still had a sprint at the end. I was in a really bad position but made my way through the pack to get 6th. I've been fight some weird Cold or Allergy thing the last 3 weeks, but feel I'm coming around.
Amber had Bike 4 Women on Sunday. She had a good race at 4th Overall. Wasn't a big race for her, more like a training race. The big one is in 2 weeks. Gold Nugget Tri.
The kids are doing Great. Amber got that Picture above after the race on Saturday. They are so happy and there just Hilarious. SO MUCH FUN.

Big Sticker!!

Back from Hawaii and back to the grind. Lots riding and playing on the beach with Kids. Now its snowing again here in Anchorage.

So, I got my car wrapped like a Team Support Car. Mike Vania at Pip Printing did the job. It looks Pretty Sweet.

New Ride

Just got my new Mtn Ride for 2010. Trek Top Fuel. Out of box at 21.5lbs.

Busy, Busy

Its been a busy time around the Home and Shop. I'll run through things quickly. I did the Su 50K this weekend. It went OK. I've been fighting a sinus Cold for about 2 Weeks now. We'll I felt it when it came down to the end of the race. I cracked at about 5 miles to go. Lackey rode strong the whole time. Just like the Frosty. Overall good ride and warm temps. But I'm going to switch back to 80mm Rims. 100mm are overkill for that kind of riding were doing.

What else. I Got a New Cervelo S3 and P3. Can't wait to get them to Hawaii. Lots of Hills and TT Time. Hopefully it will be a good year.

Coming up on mile 20.

Weekend on the River!

Bill and I went on a ride this weekend on the Yentna River. River was in good shape on Sunday Morning. We rode up to Luce's Lodge had some lunch and headed up to the Yentna Station made some good time. Speed was around 9-13MPH. We It was a good 5 hour Ride. Went back and had some Dinner and a Beer. Then we played some pool. Sunday night on the way back it started to snow and it didn't stop. When we woke their was 10inches of fresh snow. The River looked like a huge Cloud in the sky. So, we pushed for the next 10 hrs. It was grim.

Cold, Cloudy, Windy, it was hard to see.

Still lots of Open Water on River. Its Crazy.
