While Nathan and Shannon have been in Cali. i have been doing alot of trainning. Over spring break i got a solid 4-5 hour ride in everyday, it was heavenly. I have been doing alot of effort workout's out at TMS like one day a week its been hard it is all worth it. I had a time trial 2 weeks ago, in Aubrey, Tx me and Rachel where out at it. It was a lot of fun, well sort of. It was crazy windy out. The start we were with the wind and on the way back straight into it. The wind was easly over 20mph prolly closer to 25mph. Over all out of all the times i got 16 out of a good 80 people. But in the 4/5 group i got 6th which is pretty good. I can easliy say that i gave it every thing i could, when i was done i had nothing left, i was dead tired. I just got beaten far a square and im ok with that, hahaha. The next race i did was the tuesday night crit in Plano. It was a tough race, but it shouldn't have been. I did the B race, but showed up late which was my fault, i did not know that the trip would take as long as it did. So i did not get any warm up and the race started off very fast, but tomorrow will be different for sure. This last weekend was the Belterra/Manda road race, i did not go though. I did not have a place to stay or money for a place to stay either. So that's about it for these past few week's sorry for not posting.
Here is a video for those of you who mountain bike or like to jump stuff, it is so funny.

I have let my blogging get away from me again, sorry about that. I have not really had the time to look at blog's lately, oh yea and im lazy. Well the past few week's have been pretty busy with riding and all, i have been trying really hard to get my sprint insanely fast. I have also been working on actually being able to finish a race so i can sprint! hahaha! I had a lot of fun on this sunday riding with these two kids who were like 8-10 years old, just kinda showing them the basic's of riding in a group and how save some energy going up the climbs. Which is kinda wierd cause i need to learn how to do that too. Well i sent in my upgrade request for my 3. Hopefully they will accept it, and maybe i can race next weekend depending on what the team is doing.
Well i will make sure to keep up with my blogging and keep every one up to date with the latest cycling news.

Awesome stuff going on!!!
So Pace Bend Road Race was this weekend, and man was it excited, well maybe that's not the word for it, perhaps the word, well two words would be heart racing.
On Saturday Nathan, Shannon, Parker, William, and I road with the club member. Later in the ride Rachel showed up out of no where, it was really confusing, because I had heard that she was sick, so I was wondering what the hell she was doing there. I thought about it a little and well i guess even if you are sick you still need to ride a little. Speaking of being sick, i went to the doctor today and it seems i have a mild flu, sick again i cant believe it. Usually i never get sick, but just this year i have already gotten sick twice. I know, I know that's crazy.
Well enough about people being sick and getting sick. This weekend was like i have already stated heart racing. I raced in the Junior Open class, the distance was only 25 miles, and for me that's more of a warm-up ride. The night before the race Nathan and I were talking, he was saying that if i didn't win this race then well i wouldn't have a BH bike anymore. Now I'm not sure if he was serious, but when somebody say's something like that you better take them seriously if you don't know better. You can probably tell that i got to keep my bike, since I'm still posting on the Blog, and if i got to keep my bike then......Oh Yea that's right i won. No biggie or anything. The race was farley easy, i didn't really warm up that much. I figured that i would kinda warm up during the actually race. That is precisely what i did. The race started at 8:15, we were doing 4 laps, each lap 6.2 miles. About mid-way through the first lap i did a little fake attack to see how my legs were feeling. I broke away for about a minute then let the pack catch me. After that i sat in for the rest of the race. 2nd, lap..........3rd, lap..........4th, lap. Same thing every time just sat in and enjoyed the ride. Last time up the hill came off some one went i got on third wheel and we started to break away. This kid though was not very strong so the pack caught us again. After that i just sat in till the down hill to the sprint leveld off, but going that early was a bad idea, way to early for me. I am more of a sprinter for the last 200m and less. So i got up to go and was off the front by about 50-75m but like i said i went to early. I sat back done to push it some more just sitting down. I looked back and there was a kid clossing in on my wheel so i had to get up and go again. No worry's i had this sprint in the bag, easy as pie. Of course i went across the finish line with hands raised high.
So as you can see my weekend was great, as for every one else not so good, Alot of the team was getting cramps, Corey and Leo got in a crash, Cory broke his colar bone, and Leo has a little road rash. Peter got DQ'd for a stupid call, the said he tossed his water bottle 100m before the feed zone.
Ok that's it for now lets end this with a funny story to keep you going in times of need.

So all the sudden i have been really addicted to solving Rubik's Cubes, and i mean i can do it no big deal, but i do it all the time, and now i want to get even faster at it. It is a major addicition. Some people say that it is really hard but it really is quite easy all it is, is a bunch of patterns that solve it for you. One day i wish i could be like this guy.
its amazing !!! 8.8 sec !!! its crazy.

All generalizations are false, including this one.
OK so now that i am back on my regular schedule of posting i would like to talk about a vital issue, affecting the world right now.
I'm not sure if y'all have seen it but there is a video running about on the web that shows a Police Officer, completely abusing his power as a law enforcement officer. The officer in the video is very aggressive, and his actions are completely out of hand. The situation is set up like so. A couple of skate boarders are ridding down what looks to be a public area, for instance a boardwalk of some type. The officer proceeds to tell the young men to leave and from there on it gets completely out of control. Now as a human being i am subject to see all sorts of grouping, or segregated i guess you could say. As every one else on the planet, i have seen my fair share of mis-treatment towards a certain group/groups of people. For example being a cyclist some people tend to not like us and well want us all to die i think, haha. But really the world has gotten kind of ridiculous in the this sense. Even the being discriminated against are well sort of trying to be a nucense. I personally cant believe that it has gotten to this extreme in society where people cant do things or be a certain way with out some kind of stereo type, that was created years before they were even born, just all the sudden thrust upon them.
I'm going to call Gordon out on this, the video that he has on his blog about the cyclist, well isn't the greatest video. I see it as kind of bad naming cyclist. The fact that "oh we are the cyclist, so we don't have follow the regular traffic law's and we are better than every one else be were ride bikes." Come on this is just asking for people the discriminate against us. Now i will say that i do not know Gordon's intent in posting this video, for all i know he may have posted it because, that was someones view of the cyclist and he thinks its funny.
Here is the video i was speaking of before.
And on that note lets end with a funny story!
The three race horses
Three racehorses were standing in a stable bragging to each other one day. The first horse boasts "I've been in 59 races and I've won 35 of them." "That's nothing," says the second horse. "I've raced 97 times, and I've won 78 of them!" The third horse joins in: "Well, I've raced 122 times and I've won 102!" Just then, the horses hear a voice say, "I've got you all beat!" The horses look down and sees a greyhound. "I've raced over 200 times, and I have NEVER lost!" The horses look at the dog in amazement. One of them says "How about that! A talking dog!"
