Team Style Points

This past weekend was awesome!!  Lots of laughs as everyone made it to our house for some good food prepped by Michelle with everyone else chipping in with Mikey and Lynn bringing desserts and Sarah bringing a salad!  Not sure if it was Sarah's prep, or maybe the content, but the desserts are all gone and there is still a full salad left?  hmmm?  Maybe next time we will need 3 people to bring dessert!  Pigs! 
Saturday was a good race prep and a shake down of how to ride a bike again for me.  With all the travels and the 100s, rest was in order and that is kind of what I did, minus the pool draining, the VGBA drain updates, the State inspection(which was a joke), and the refilling, balancing and starting of the Pool and Hot Tub.  Oh yeah, and a trip to the Dells for some overdue Crestron programming.  Either way after a week of not touching a bike, the legs were never found!  Oops. 

So back to the team.  We have a great group of personalities that makes each race a blast!!  There is always lots of banter, some rude comments, and some just funny antics going on all the time!  They all ride bikes really fast too and are supportive of each other!  Mikey showed us this weekend as well that retiring from bike racing sucks and decided to sprint with Tristan and Brian this weekend!  He came out with the 3rd place finish, even on the borrowed bike!  Not that it matters for him, he has the tech skills to make any bike fly through the singletrack and taught me!  Darrrin pulled out a good finish as well racing with a broken rib to finish 7th, Ryan held it together to come in 12th and I just fell apart after a pretty good 1st lap to finish 17th.

The girls rocked again and took 4th, 5th, and 6th in the womens field.  They have all been working really hard and keep each other motivated.  It is good to see them racing hard each weekend! 

Myles also had a good race and took 2nd in the juniors!

Nice work to the team and everyone else out at Wausau!  Next up for me is the Lumberjack 100.  Super excited for this event!  I have heard tons of good things about the course!  For Michelle, Sarah, Darrin, and maybe the Krayer's it is the Chaindrive.
