Kent Park

What a race!!! Kent Park is an awsome course, I actually enjoyed it for the most part, beyond the struggling!

I stayed in the lead group of Cat 5's, and we caught some stragglers from the other groups. Noticed the guys were faltering on the hills so I broke the group apart. After doing this on the 5th lap, we dropped all but 4, and us 4 stayed together till the end of the racewhere I was able to win the uphill sprint to the line. 2 Cat 5's had gotten away earlier in the race and so I settled for 3rd I believe!

Oh well, Kudos to Conn for another great race! He and the rest of Two Bee did an awsome job getting the course ready.

Good job to everyone!

Cody Race 1

Raced in Davenport this weekend. This course was a great warm up for Kent Park. Hills and fast paced!

Got thrown out the back on the major climb of the 2nd lap. Stuck in with mostly Dice guys and a couple ICCC guys in the 2nd big pack. Finished 18th, 2nd for Cat 5. My uphill sprint needs a little bit of work, So I learn not to downshift 1 to many!!!

It was a fun race though, I had fun the whole race!

Prairie Rude

Raced the first day of the year today at a very technical Prairie Rude Days in CR. Conn always puts on a great race and this was a great race. I could tell the form isnt there yet, hopefully better for Kent Park next week. Also slid out on a corner right after the 2bee man in front slid out, nothing wrong to the bike, just a very little strawberry on the left leg. I had fun though, and was glad to get back into the cycling experience!

Ended up 18th, and won Cat 5

Bad Weather!

Jason M. had a huge race today, it was exciting to see him do as well as he did! To beat a World TT Champion is a huge accomplishment, I am happy for him!

Not happy about the snow and sleet we are getting however! I was so happy to be able to ride outside, but it doesnt look like I will be for at least a few day! I want spring!

I love Cycling!

Today was my first long ride of the year....went out for hour and a half, all i have to say is DAM HEAD WINDS! for half of it. And nearly getting bit in the butt by a dog, otherwise it felt good!

I wish this weather didnt have to go away, I want it to stay like this and get warmer!


Also, T of C has been amazing, Discovery is doing amazing. Everyone thought that they had made a tactical error yesterday, but they proved that to be wrong. I also enjoy watching CSC, another great team. Voigt did amazing for 9omiles wow!
