Je suis Boner!!!

Summer's ending which means a few things. 1) I'll spend TOO MUCH MONEY at Target on school supplies. 2) CX season and my annual "I'm going to race CX" statement is due to be shouted. 3) My annual "I'm not going to race CX becaue..." list of excuses will follow shortly after and 4) MY GIRLS ARE BACK IN SCHOOL!!!

Now, that last point needs a little bit of explaination. You see, I love my girls. They are the center of my universe. As a single dad, raising 5 daughters, they have taught me more about the meaning of life than anything else.

However...

lol

The shere amount of estrogen and progesterone I come in contact with daily can't be good for my health. The simple fact that when someone holds up a piece of new clothing, regardless of whether they are my daughters or the guys on my team, and I answer, "Wow, that's cute" says that I may spend a little too much time in the Juniors section of Kohl's.

Timpani Maddness

Maybe it was my new Golden Locks, but the riders seemed distracted today at the Timpani Criterium. For the short time I was there, there was a crash in every race. Two people were taken away by ambulance- one in the 5's and the other in the women's 4's. Never good to see that happen. So far this year, I've seen four people taken to hospital after crashes.

One rider that went down this year was back racing today in Santa Clara. Dan T. from Team Spine lined up in the 3's after breaking his collar bone and some ribs a couple of months ago. To see him back was great. But not only was he back, Dan was full-on RACING! He was in the thick of the action from the gun. Great to see him riding like that. Back when Dan hit the deck and I sat there with him in the road waiting for the ambulance, the thought of watching him race like that again was very distant at best. I assumed his season was done.

WAY TO GO DAN!!!
