The weekend was great.   Everybody put out a good show.  It was to bad that Jordan dropped his chain on the last lap, otherwise he would have been way up there too.  Other than that the TTT went well and logan and sanders carried me and jordan along well and we were able to clinch 3rd.  The course was fun and had some good hill workouts mixed in.

Well done boys. Keep up the good work. Jordan, next time ride fixed gear bike  :evil6:
The minimum number of bikes one should own is three.  The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of bikes currently owned.  This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner.

Jordan... don't get frustrated. While you've got experience, this is a new kind of racing for you. Even if it's "the same" its different. Racing D's is such a crapshoot... one day you might go out and get away just because the D riders got confused... the next, they might chase everything down all day long.

Just remember to learn and apply. The wins will come with time.

And don't think that anyone on the team has any less respect for you just because you aren't placing. Nothing could be further from the truth.

It's not so much that... I was referring to the officials messing up the results for last Sunday's crit... not a big deal but they somehow just happened to miss a bunch of riders coming across the line and I got stuck being tied for 12th with 6 other riders when I really got 7th. Not like it makes that big of a deal and I'm not worked up or anything but it does make me appreciate timing chips that much more  :evil6:

yeah, you Minnesotans are so spoiled with the timing chips :P . Is Mike D still in charge of the timing events?

Why didn't you protest the results? If you went and explained to the official and other riders explained to the official they should've sorted out the results?

Yes Mike is still in charge... crazy guy. And I did protest but because they didn't even see who came across the line they weren't going to do anything about it. They said they forgot to turn the camera on at the start of the race and by the time they realized it wasn't on they didn't even bother to turn it on?? I don't know something like that anyways. Maybe next time I cross the line I'll point to the official, make eye contact, and scream just to make sure they see me  ;D....and also how do they not catch the only kid riding a blaze orange bike?   :tongue:
