Update- MNSCS #2 and Road Stuff

For starters, this blogging thing is kinda the last thing on my list of things-to-do. Just like everyone else, FB and Twitter (@mlwiken) have pretty much taken over and are hella easier to use.

MNSCS #2
There is a reason for this late race recap. I'll get to that in a sec.
I was really looking forward to this race since I like the climbs and prefer them to the flatter courses. Once at the line, not liking this 35+ Comp class, I decided that I would first focus on catching and passing as many young bucks as I could. That went quite well so I knew I was riding strong. Except when the f.der. wouldn't drop to the granny >:-( I stopped fixed the der and continued on still feeling pretty good. Then with one lap to go I decide that I would attack on the Man Handler to pull back as many positions as I could and then bring it on home. Well, the MTB Gods had different plans for me. I flatted heading over Porters Pile. I changed it in record time, for me, and only lost 8 or so places. Then just before the base of the Man Handler, Pffsssssssss. Damn, flat number 2 and I ain't got no more tubes. DAMN IT!

I'll just have to wait to get my revenge at Mt. Kato.

In the meantime I'm planning on hitting up the State Fair crit tomorrow 3/4, Stillwater on Sunday, then focus on Mt. Kato.

I need to get one of these...

I think I might know of someone who makes furniture like this.
