Who With the What Now… July 7, 2006
“And that’s the ball game”…I’m sure someone heard that in the baseball crazy city of Boston some time in the past 36 hours I was there. Why was I there? For once it was relatively unrelated to cycling…somewhat. Here is the Story…
About a week ago I headed down to Rochester for the Twilight Crit. Great race…one of my all time favs now. It’s fast and fun with a little bit of everything. The team rode well with Dwald in a break and then the guys fought the good fight to at least get me to where I could cramp my way across the line to 8th.
From there I headed to the country for a bit of an escape. I spent the week with Brad and Jdub’s (Jon Wirsing) parents, wife and kids. It was great; it took me back to my roots in the wilderness a little…paddling and the like…but on with the story.
From there we headed over to Fitchburg, however we left with a new team mate. The new man will bring a new perspective to the blog. I am thinking of giving the dude a corner on the old blogarro. Introducing the one and only (ok maybe not only, but the resemblance is scary)* Dan Schmatz. Ok so he is not the real D Schmatz of Sierra Nevada Fam, but the resemblance is scary.
Fella got into a lot of trouble during Fitchburg…including macin’ on my main lady Jen. Feeling generally insecure as a result of Dan’s rippling pecks I felt I needed to treat her to a cliché holiday. After the Racing it was off to Boston for 36 hours of bean town fun. While there we saw all the sites. We walked the freedom trail, went to Cheers (no one knew my name) and had some of the Boston sea food everyone was talking about. Check the Pics…

You skipped nationals to go to a bar where nobody knew your name?
I hope you had fun in Beantown. Keep winning those races.
