Sleepless in Iowa

Well, here I go. This is my "official" first rant. It's 12:24 in the morning here in the flatlands of Iowa, and I woke up to go to the bathroom and am having a hard time geting back to sleep, so i thought I would give you the low-down for my 2004 race season. This year I am racing for the newly formed endurance racing team known as Cateye Enduro.

The purpose of this new team is to promote Cateye, and to test some new "high-tech" lights that they will be having come out sometime in the next 2 years. All riders on the team are raging on Giant NRS AIR's, with Fox forks. This combination is super plush and is ideal for long distance cycling.

Most of the races being hit up by the team include Trans-Rockies, La Ruta, 24 Nationals and Worlds, and other local events. For me, I have only been able to ge to one event this year and that was the 12 Hours of Stump Farm in Green Bay, WI

I ended up placing 2nd in the solo race which was good enough for the first race of the year. The next race on the calander is the 24 Hours of Rapelje in Billings, MT. This race looks interesting to say the least. The town is so small that everyone is asked to carry everything in. Plus, I don't think there are any trees on course. Weird huh...?

Well, I am starting to get a little sleepy. I need to get some rest for tomorrows big day in the saddle.

Stay posted to this site for rider updates, rants, thoughts, etc......
