First, a link to Ryan’s Croc Shirts. Support the man, it’s a good cause.

Track. LA, err, Carson. Hmm. Good times. Not sure if I’m made for this crap. After being away for a while you get all worked up, think it is a good idea and get excited for the change of pace ahead. The first day on the boards is a blast. The second day is kind of cool. After that you feel like sh*t and want to go home. Not sure what to say other than that.

I bailed on the events yesterday because I felt like hell and thought it better to get some time in on the roads. I ended up having a really nice four hour ride along the coast and exploring PV, the one nice place around here that is filled with houses you can only describe as stupid. Not sure what people do with all the space but I guess it isn’t that hard to fill… A few pretty cool pieces of architecture however and some nice roads. Too bad it only takes an hour and a half to loop.

This morning we raced the qualifiers for tonight’s points race, qualifying 6 of us to race the 24 person final. Fingers crossed we don’t do anything too stupid and manage to pull out a win. Friedman is living up to his Meatball monkier and should probably take a few laps solo…

Tomorrow is the Team Pursuit, the event we’re “focusing” on here, and my last race of the year. Off season here I come.
