Street Cred 2012

Second place for the second year in a row. Three years ago I won this thing.

Street Cred is a great little alley cat stage race that started a number of years ago (2007?). It tests your ability to get around the city quickly and efficiently using tact and knowledge (luck). Next year I'll be gunning to win it again.

Actually, I am kind of surprised I pulled a second place finish out of my rear this year as I haven't been doing any riding other than commuting since January and for four months before that my butt didn't see a saddle. Points out how it isn't always about speed and fitness and that's the point.

This year saw the Peep eating returned (ugh), but saw a new player in the fantastic Cadbury Egg!! I love those things. Not so much in the middle of a crit, but still.

Levon did a suburb job of again organizing this race and securing sponsors (Tallgrass Brewing, Chrome, Volker Bicycles, and Velocity). Thanks to all the sponsors for the prizes and support.

It's great to get and race in February when everyone else is at home on the trainer.

Stay dirty!

Refresh

So, I think I am due for an update. In the interest of time and ease of reading I'll put my update in the form of pictures and captions. In this way, I can describe what I've been up to in this last year since it wasn't riding or racing.

So, here we go. Wow, after reading my last post a lot sure has happened.

First, my best friend and I went to Las Vegas for the Rock 'N Roll Marathon Dec. 2010

Walking to the parking lot of Mandalay Bay to get lined up.



I suppose I am ready for this!



I look and feel a bit confused. That was awesome and yeah, I felt it.



Not as much as this guy though...



Feeling good and doing the "Vegas" thing.



Finished school, finished clinicals (800 hours!), took boards and got licensed!



Oh, yeah this happened! That's my wonderful wife with our first child.



Me and our beautiful daughter, Holly Virginia.

So, as one can see life has been a little busy for me. This led to less riding and training than I would've liked and no racing. This year, however, I am committed to getting back at it. I am a little older, a little fatter, and a lot slower so I have some work to do.
