Yeah, I’m lazy. It’s been a week since I’ve updated the site and I don’t really have a good reason. Sorry. So…

Trying to find results for Bermuda after stage two and having no luck? Check out the weather channel instead. Unfortunately as we were out fishing the morning of the second stage the race organizers decided to cut the race short and get us all off the island before Florence came in and smashed the place to bits. The 2nd stage was a 1k uphill TT starting by the water and finishing at the high point on the island beside the lighthouse. Menzies won, Huff was second, blah de blah blah. Tim Johnson somehow managed to pip me by .02 seconds (but as I PUMPED him the evening prior even though he beat me up the hill I was still 2 seconds up - SCHTAH!) and I ended up 2nd overall behind a chargin Russel Downing from DFL-Cyclingnews. After a quick awards ceremony and party at the lighthouse we headed back to the house to pack things up and head out to dinner. By this point in time it was well past dark and we motorpaced random scooters back to the house, for safety’s sake of course. I think the lady on the back of the 50 I was clinging to nearly shat herself - good times.
After a quick pack up in preperation for a far too early departure in the morning we headed down for dinner at a restaurant where Neil had arranged for that fish you saw below to be devoured. Wahoo sashimi was incredible, making the Tuna it shared plate space with pale in comparison, and the massive steaks were fresh as can be. Thanks Neil! After dinner we rolled downtown and watched Huff do a bit of table dancing in his cutoff (and continually more tattered) jeans. Eventually a mob of scooters tailed TJ and Lyne out to the Healthnet host house for some late night swimming, a farewell to Gord and Tim’s award ceremony of custom screened TJ Bermuda shirts - that guy goes all out. I would post a link to his website but he’s a slacker and it has recently died.

By Saturday afternoon I was home and Bermuda seemed far, far away. Fingers crossed that it’ll be on the schedule in the future…

A week has since passed and we’re now racing at the Parker Omnium, a first year NRC event in south Denver. A 7 mile TT started things off on Friday afternoon and yesterday was a 108 mile WINDY road race that blew to all hell. Guess who won? At altitude, in Colorado, hard race…Scott Moninger. He keeled us. Menzies was second,, making a Healthnet 1-2. Friedman was 3rd, I was 4th, and we’re sitting 4th and 5th respectively on the GC. Hopefully we can pick up some points in today’s downtown criterium and jump up a few spots. For a first year event there is some good cash on the line and it’s always good to make some… With all the fall wine offerings showing up I’m going to need to. An a related note it anybody is looking for a bike (size 55) or a condo to rent in Boulder starting in mid-november give a shout.
