East Coast Touring with Freinds

NY was a good time. The racing course was excellent and the accommodations were comfortable. Care Bear had a good ride and the Rudy Bear was winning the ST only to suffer from broken pedal.
Vermont is full of Oreo Cows and hopefully Todd will be bringing the the normal Oreo's. Amelia isn't coming sadly. Its dry and lets hope is stays that way for two more days.

This was the Bikeman Attack or the Precourt Retort, I can't remember which. Harry just has to many tricks up his sleeve.

The Ramras Roost

The Ramras Roost is not only a shelter for aspiring racer types. It is also a new way of riding bikes. Zac demonstrates below

The Tall Bike provides an excellent platform to get your roost on.
Sometimes when duty calls you need to strap on the old number plate to roost correctly
Other times you just need friends and some quality turns
He even helped me learn how to roost

Keep Riding

Ah, Teva Games

When racing doesn't goes as plan because of bad planning and preperation its good to have a nice venue to relax in. The Teva games is perfect. There are lots of dogs and outdoors people. Lots of free Lara Bars. After the race you can relish in the fact that you finished and Filip Meirhaeghe. But in like the Care Bears discription of a Norba you can't be psyched about beeting Trebon, because he pretty much dominated the hole time.

I found Harry Precourts Doppleganger
So i preriding when i rolled up on like 20 people trying to take pictures of stuffed animal trying to hunt another stuffed animal.
The Teva Games also has an event that you just run threw alot of mudd.

John Barker took some sweet pictures but won't give them to me

Impomptu Training

DPC, John Bark and I went down to the big oval looking thing and raced some fixede gear bikes around circles last night. I know what your thinking. Lame Right. I will never talk to Mitchell Hoke again. Well its kinda fun. I would never trade in a mountain bike race for it but its better then doing intervals. Here is list of why you should go too.

1. You can show up not knowing anything about how to race on the track and not have enough money and thy will let you race with seasoned vetrans.

2. There are more spectators then at a Norba.

3. Track guys hav no endurance and you can break away with fat old guy and john Barker.

4. There is the cuitest mid twenties USAC official i havw ever seen.

5. Since you don't have a tack bike they give you this sick old school ones for free.
