I got to meet Jordi Savall last weekend. It was amazing.

Controlling the alley pigeon population.

Thanks to Kevin for giving me his jersey and to the rest of the Project London team for signing it (Kevin Mansker, Jimmy Watkins, Dean Tracy, Michael Blatchford, Daniel Walker). This will be auctioned off this Sunday at the Northbrook Velodrome banquet (5pm EJ's Place in Skokie).

The only way to get a Project London jersey is from one of the riders. These are the guys who will be going to the Olympics in the Sprint events.

Fixed Gear Classic

June 2011

This was a great way to end Nationals since my experience was not what I wanted up to that point.

Scratch (Friday) - Wanted the podium but got trapped with 3 to go, ended up 9th.

Keirin (Friday) - Needless to say, I have no business doing this anymore now that I'm an endurance racer.

Points (Saturday) - Sitting in 3rd place for points with 50 to go and was in a crash. Hit my head hard = concussion = not allowed to restart.

Madison (Sunday) - Probably should not have done it seeing that my head is messed up but I could not let the opportunity pass. I had been looking forward to this race for too long to sit it out. Ended up 2nd to retired sprinter now turning enduro Jennie Reed and Cari Higgins.

Now - off season. Think about a 6 day down the road.
