Almost July

I passed all my classes, so that was pretty sweet. Came out of the semester heavier than ever... not so sweet.

Summer started, Nate came back from euro-land , and I started working at University bikes. I raced some crits, did some road racing, nothing notable.

Deidre and I decided that it would be a good idea for her to come visit PA with me. That's a big step! We did the Big Bear 2x12 together. It was fun, we both had mechanicals on the first lap that put us pretty far back, but we had a solid rest of the race. I mean, we're still together, so that seems a W.

Last weekend was the Bailey Hundo. It was my first long race in over a year and a half, so I was kind of worried. The first 60 miles were singletrack, and the last 40 were dirt road climbs. I ended up 7th on the day, which I was happy with. It was fast though, my finishing time was 7:16 I think. There were 7 or so of us all within 10 minutes, so it was pretty tight.

Right after that Henry, Ken, Richie, Ray, and my Dad came out for some riding. It was really fun, I'm glad they came. We got a few longer climbing days in, and some flatter stuff to keep the troops fresh.

I'm taking a few days off, and then starting to get ready for Breck 100. Deidre's sister is getting married in Breck on the fourth, which is turning out to be quite the awesome weekend of riding...and... wedding stuff! It's also my 21st birthday the 3rd, which should make the wedding even more exciting. Montucky Miller and his sweeter/ more enjoyable/ more pleasant half Colleen are en route to Boulder and should be crashing here for a while.
