Broke my Collarbone.

Sorry guys, I was all pumped up to do my job at HHH.

See you all in Texas in a couple days.

Good Luck Joe!!!

In Finland. When will Eric Carter and Joe figure out you can't make that much money in skiing in the U.S. But if you do it right by living at your girlfriend's house and eat her food you might be able to survive racing full time.

Any takers ladies?

Joe you're always welcome to come to MSU for cycling.

I guess I might have to change the name of the blog or pay royalties!!! Do you you think Shame On Ice will sue me? That darn team has at least 3 lawyers on it... It would be hard to tell though.

Non Pre-registration Fees Need to End

2008-07-01T19:10:00.000-07:00

At first I wrote a long essay, but it just didn’t come out right. I’m a simple person with simple questions, so I’m sticking to the K.I.S.S. way of thinking.

1.Why do I have to pay ten dollars more if I don’t pre-register?
2.If I can’t pay thirty five dollars, but I have twenty five will promoters take my money the day of a race or turn me away?
3.What happens if I don’t have a credit card, checking account or internet to pre-register with?
4.Is it better for a race promoter to get twenty five dollars the day of a race then to get none at all?
5.Why don’t promoters keep the same price for providing the same service?
6.Pre-registration is a form of discrimination against cash, isn’t it?
7.What happens if I pre-register then don’t go?
8.How come I can’t get a refund?
9.…Add your own question.

Collin won another race last night.

You Can Make More...

2008-06-23T11:35:00.000-07:00

Donating sperm then you can if you win a bike race, plus you'll have more fun doing it. My teammate Collin won a race the other day in Indiana. It was sweet! We made $5.00 an hour.

We were marked before the race because of our MSU kits...

Tour of Ohio was hard and on the last day I was able to work on the front a little to bring a break back for Francis. MY legs were starting to come a round and I got some well broken in shoes from my friend in Texas. Its cool when you look down and see 30mph and you still feel great.

Next up

Sergery at the VA to get rid of that darn corn and more racing.

I can't wait to go back to school!

You're Either Fast, or You're Not.

I'm not. The road race was a cool course with a climb at mile... Go. I started last and quickly sprinted on the out side and started the climb around the top 75 or so. That's when I started the slow man drift and ended up in a 20+ man "chase group." When we got over the climbs we were holding a nice 39-42 MPH on the flats trying to catch the peloton. When we made the turn into the feed zone we could see them up the road but we never caught them. My race was over in the first 3 min. Alex "The Gun Show" Boyd got 10th in the road race and 3rd in the crit. Our team was a little disappointed that we were not able to take home some stars and bars. Next year the team will be on a new direction and be stronger then ever.

Till then

I'm not going to be home till after I get my new frame that's being shipped here. Should be this week.

Noonan get well buddy!!!!! Here is to a speedy recovery!!!!

We are off to Colorado tomorrow. I'll just be racing the RR and cheering in the crit and TTT. But the real question will be; Will I make it back in time for Opus? I think I will... If I don't sleep and drive fast!

I Don't Like Hills.

2008-05-05T09:05:00.000-07:00

Put me on the front and I'll gladly work all day. But a time trial AND up hill?

I have never... Used a skinsuit, TT helmet, clip on bars, TT bike, disk wheel, yeah I'm all about the TTs.

Farm Girl?

2008-05-05T08:59:00.000-07:00

I think not... Thanks Francis!
On a side note Frances will be racing in MN for a couple of days.

Do you hear that?

2008-05-03T15:34:00.000-07:00

The diesel is coming

From Texas he comes with a big guns
Charging north till the battle has won

Here he comes over the hill
Not a rider on his wheel

Cross wind you not a chance
For the diesel is charging past

To the front he goes
Burning riders as he solos

Do you here that?

In the end there can only be one
The diesel has just won

Next time you toe the line
Make sure you’re hook up to the diesel or you’ll be left far behind.

My teammate found a place to stay in MN.
