24-9 week

Getting ready for 24-9 this week ,I took the week off from work so I can get some good sleep and not be in a hurry about packing up.I'll hit the road Thursday morning and get to Rib Mnt. around 11:00 am or noon go help out at the venue and maybe stake out a spot for the weekend.

There is around 24 riders going up so it should be a blast,the down side is I don't get to enjoy the venue and all the things going on,it's fun just to walk around and watch what people are doing.

I don't know what pro's are coming up SoloGoat is about all I do know I hope Mark Hendershot is going to make it again.

Let's hope for another podium finish and good weather !

See ya !

Long road miles

Got in another 102 miles on the road today just over 6 hours at 90 degree temps, Bob lasted for around 85 a good ride for him.

Taper down for a couple weeks no more long rides, a night ride Tuesday will be fun.

Cindy has been in shy town since Friday with my mom and sisters she'll be home some time tonight but I'll be in bed.


See ya !

Rain out !

Bob and I got 1one hour away from Franklin,Wi. and the race was called off due to rain ! Shit! turn this buggy around Bob and head back to Peoria,three hours into the ride and three hours back home...Oh well good talking with Bob and well try and get a long road ride in the morning.
