Tour de Nez Race

So the last two pictures are from the Reno Criterium race held this past week, while the first two pictures are from the final criterium race held at Northstar at Tahoe which was the deciding factor to determine the G.C. leader for the five day race series. As always, it's good fun to watch these guys go real fast. The leader going in to the final day had a lead of about 25 seconds and ended up losing the overall by mere seconds, which made for an exciting finale.

Mtn. Biking Bliss!

This past weekend I was able to head up to Truckee and do a little mountain biking. I headed up and spent the day kickin' around enjoying the cooler temperatures and the general laid back atmosphere that I have missed. In the afternoon I rode a nice mellow trail since I was on my single speed and just enjoyed the out and back trail and nice scenery. I was going to take some more pictures where the trail gets more scenic and gnarly but I was having too much fun and didn't want to take the time to stop. Next time.

Tour de Leelanau - Results from the road race in Traverse City, MI (my hometown)

This past weekend was not only the Memorial Day weekend, but also race weekend in Traverse City. Some good teams showed up again this year to race "the hidden gem of american racing." By looking at the pictures above, you can imagine why this statement is true. The area is beautiful for biking and general summer time enjoyment. Hopefully this race continues to grow from the race that my big 'bro and I raced ten years ago (winning prize by the way was a fresh loaf of bread) to become a mainstay in U.S. races.
I was happy to see some people I rode with, when I was living there (and my big 'bro still rides with), placed decently considering they were racing with some of the best american riders.
