Closing the gap

I've fallen behind.  Now for some catching up! 

Enjoyed a fun weekend in DC for my brother's graduation.  Tried biking, drafted this guy...decided it was better to take some time off the bike while in the city.  Instead enjoyed a great weekend with my family on foot. 

After graduation, headed north to beautiful New England!  Really happy to be home with my family and see some friends too, including Steve Weller...my favorite coach!    (http://belllapcoaching.com/)  As always, my bike and I stopped by Joe's Garage (my favorite shop!) to visit with Joe and give the bike some attention before I was off to race Tour of Somerville in NJ with Debony.  Our weekend of riding and racing was a blast. 



Race was good and I felt good.  I was also more aggressive than I usually am in the last laps when the going got crazy.  I was pleased with that improvement and that I kept some composure when I was getting pushed around.  Wasn't enough through the last two turns after avoiding a crash and a VERY long finish straight.  Finished 19th for SKINourishment p/b Paceline Projects.

 The perfect post-race treat in NJ...

That's it for now... the Glencoe Grand Prix up next!
