I'm totally fine with how things went down in the big picture, but I'll admit to expecting a bit more from myself, after building a set of wheels for the weekend and feeling pretty good coming in. So it's one of those things that you just have to chalk up to "that's racing" and just move on.<br /><br />Steve, I'm really looking forward to getting you your frame and fenders. I can either stop on the way out Friday, or on the way back Sunday... I'll let you decide. ;-) I'm not racing Friday, so I have a little bit of time flexibility.<br /><br />Matt, it's super cool that you and Lane were able to come down, and that Patty hooked Lane up with a bike to race for the weekend! That was excellent, and Lane made the most of it, with a win and a second place finish to show for it... Finishing second to Noah Burke is no shame either. Noah is a very strong and accomplished cyclist and runner, despite his young age, and the fact that Lane was right up there says a lot. He has a bright future if he sticks with it. Keep it fun (and I know you know how to do that), but get him in with strong mentors in the disciplines of cycling that he wants to excel in, and he can take it wherever he wants to go. Cycling is a beautiful sport, in that when you put in the work, the results will come. There is a certain element of 'killer instinct' involved I believe, but to a large extent, even those without a huge killer instinct can have relatively large success in cycling if they simply work hard and become a student of the sport... but I digress.<br /><br />I can see that he loves it though... because I know you do too.<br /><br />Thanks again guys. Happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful you're both my friends.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MGMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377768960221628840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330667.post-50327421183255129552009-11-25T01:27:47.979-06:002009-11-25T01:27:47.979-06:00MG you rode well despite your Sunday problems, it ...MG you rode well despite your Sunday problems, it was great to be there & watch Lane & the rest of you guys tear it up & Hooligan Hill speaks for itself, great to see cvo back in town promoting the scene.<br /><br /> I hope to make it an annual trip as Lane is stoked on cyclocross, wonder if a race out here would go over? Anyway, good luck in Iowa & check out my most recent post & the shot of you going over the hurdle, PURE GRACE!paxtoncoyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15738361291848546953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330667.post-87064339758437702882009-11-24T21:29:04.982-06:002009-11-24T21:29:04.982-06:00You had a long season with a lot of success this y...You had a long season with a lot of success this year Matt.
