Crankenstein In the Books

Wow - chilly - windy - sunshine day at Miami East for the Time Trial. Mad Cows had an awesome day. Rhino's Team won overall Male/Male Master. Egg's individual time was faster than Rhino's and the rest? Don't know - need to see the official results to see how they did. Goose knocked off approximately 4+ minutes off his last year's time. I thought you got slower when you get older! Really proud of Goose, he has really put his heart into the bike this year.

Fun time after they finished, a little home cooking on the tailgate, lots of laughs and stories told. I have lots of pictures but I need to sort through them.

What a day - I think I rode for a couple of guys today - my legs hurt and I just stood there taking pictures!

Great job to all of you.

Crankenstein Pre Ride

This is the last week from Crankenstein, which called for another day of riding those roads. Goose got to sleep in this morning - I stayed up late tracking Coudron and Chaney on their Hawaii Ironman.

Goose and I were actually the FIRST ones at the school this afternoon! Usually Goose is running late, but not today. I don't don't either one of felt particularly good, but knew it had to be done. Big Tim is still trying to recover from a bad cold, and well, Egg is Egg :) No ride is ever a bad ride! After small talk they headed out for their 2 loops. I waited about 5 minutes and head out. A "small" head wind on 589 (but then a tail wind on the return trip). Egg worked the guys hard and I think he knows everyone is ready for next Sunday. Should be fun (and interesting).

I was able to pass some guys riding (slow) and one commented that a woman passed them. I wasn't sure what I was suppose to say, so I said nothing.

Looking forward to this week (indoor for me) and Goose riding Mon and Wed.
