there's been a lot of crazy stuff going on, most of it i don't like. it seems i've gained a reputation for not drinking beer, i can't think of a reason how that could have started...
in other matters, my car broke its timing belt, so just after it was repaired it died again. this time there is no hope for its return, so it is going to be put to pasture in a couple of days. i sort of wish it would be cubed or something, but i am a donor so it will be scrapped for parts. i was driving down to Simpson when the stupid car turned off and i had to get the hell over to the side of the road in my quickly de-accelerating car. it was a nice maneuver i must say - i only pissed off one car. now i only have bikes to get around, so it looks like i'm riding to the track tomorrow night.
opus was rough. Due to the car malfunction, i ended up riding close to fifty miles before the race even started. Mikey was all over the first few sprints so I was happy that we were still represented, but i decided to go for the last sprint and with skreech's help took second. Somehow that ended up as third overall, which seemed kind of cheap, but i'll take it. I've decided i want to be a cat. 3 on the road more than a cat. 2 on the track, at least for the time being. i'm getting close now, a couple more good races and i'll have it. I think its funny - me racing on the road - i have no idea why i'm enjoying it, but i am. I bet after tomorrow night at the track the love for the velodrome will take over and i'll decide road racing is stupid. i mean seriously, is it even worth racing a bike without a disk on it? ha!
Things i'm excited about:
1. Madisons with the old man
2. A complete UofM sweep of every race in every category at the track
3. Flying past the old man just before the finish to prevent him from winning his first cat. 3 track race in probably close to a decade... and then rubbing it in after the race
4. Post-race Flameburger stop
Things i'm not excited about:
1. Old man is out of town for tomorrow's race
2. Skreech is a cat. 2 so we won't race together tomorrow
3. not having grips on my track bars

Shit dog, you are going to need something. They sell them at the hub. They probably arent that expensive and you dont have a job to have to take a break from. The time is now.
i have mountain bike grips if you need some. i could totally see you doing that too.
we should talk to bob about skreech being downgraded so he can be a 3 again.
on the other hand, he didn't get dropped by the 4 field. fast fast.
