So one of the guys who went down today is in the ICU and unconscious after having surgery to relieve bleeding on or in his brain ![frown \:\(](/images/graemlins/default/frown.gif)
This kind of stuff makes me think about taking up tris instead.

So, right after making the post above I submitted my Cat 4 upgrade request.
The guy who runs my team happens to be the district rep for USAC who reviews requests.
It got approved in about an hour so I guess I'm a Cat 4

First race as a 4. Tuesday night B race - Cat 4s and Masters. Back to getting dropped all the time ![arizona](/images/graemlins/default/facepalm.gif)
Since its a training race I can jump back in after they come around and I recover. Got dropped twice over the course of a 35ish minute race. Actually, though I don't think my fitness is that far away from being able to keep up. My goal is a good solid month of training, lose a few more pounds, and I think by the first week of August I'll be much stronger.
And I'll definitely be stronger than if I kept doing the C race and training myself to run out of gas in 20-25 minutes

Showed up for race last night. Pinned on my number, got out my bike, pumping up my tires and it starts pouring. ![mad](/images/graemlins/default/mad.gif)
Get back in the car for a few minutes and it doesn't let up. Put wet bike back in the car, dry it off at home, and do intervals on the trainer.
Other than hitting a couple of more Tuesday night races I do not have any real racing on the calendar until Labor Day weekend. Then the MS150 and then cross.

september issue of bicycling magazine has a little 1 page article/interview about me. check it out! Pretty cool - how did that end up in your lap? I've not done squat for about a month now - two training crits and a time trial since July 1. Work travel, buying a house, preparing to move and preparing to rent out the current place have all taken priority. In addition, in a race I was in at the end of June, I guy went down hard and suffered a very severe head injury. He has not recovered and is not going to recover - they are moving him to hospice and going to end life support soon. ![frown \:\(](/images/graemlins/default/frown.gif) Its kind of spooked me and my wife, who never liked me racing anyway, really doesn't like it now. I'm probably done until cross season starts since my fitness has gone to shit.
my teamate is friends with the editor on Facebook. she posted up that they were doing an article on new riders and he named dropped me and she sent me a message. the article has 5 pages, each page is on someone, so im 1 of 5 people the article is on.
im in the same boat as you with riding. been busy with vacations, buying a house as well, softball, i havent been riding much. i did get 35 in tonight, will get 2 hours tomorrow as well. i think my road season is done and im just waiting for cross as well

What kind of paint did you use on the bottle cage to make it invisible?
