My Celebrity Matches

Strike 2

Tried to use the new helmet cam rig again today on the Sat Morning ride. I did not delete a test recording I did so there was no memory space remaining and it did not record. I did take some pictures of goofy people eating. Good ride

New Year

Started the new year off by getting back a a bike. I have not been on a bike since 11/26 and only ski 3 times at the beginning of Dec.
I should be rested. But out of shape.
Tried the new helmet cam out but the battery went dead and did record anything. That will show me not to charge it when it's only got half a charge showing.
12 miles not a bad start. Ha Ha.
Happy New everyone

More BMX action

I modified my helmet cam with a wide angel lens. You can see a bit more now. But I still need to aim it a little higher.
I'll try to get more up.

Making of Bicycle

This is how your bicycle was made.

SKI

Last Weekend I got out to the Kettles for an hour and half.
Tue was Parkside for 40min. and this weekend was Parkside for hour and 50min.
It's Great to ski again. But this could have been it for this winter for all I know.

Some Data

AT last

I got it all together this week.
1. Helmet Cam
2. Batteries
3. Use cam
As the norm. it not the best but better then any of you put up from on the bike.



And 2 the rest of what I shot was just track.

ALSO

Been going to the BXM track, keep trying to get some helmet cam footage but either forget that I have the cam along or the batteries were dead.
Maybe next time.
Don't forget about this I think I'm going to try and make this. sounds like fun.

Snow!!!

If the snow stays around this year I might be in shape in spring form skiing. Speaking of that I did ski the South Kettles. 10 miles on skis is a lot more work then 10 on a bike. In an hour and half of skiing things start to ache now I remember why I would roller ski in the past.

BMX

Well I went to the track last night. Every fall it's like start all over on the bmx bike. I brought the helmet cam along but forgot to use it. Maybe next week.
So besides the little sentence above that's it.

Lazy Time of the Year

It's that time of the year I don't care if I ride or do anything.
Been playing with PCs watching TV and not doing much.
OH ya Mickey said hi to you all.
Had a lot of fun at D world, but it was a little hot in the 90's. I was looking forward to mid 70s.
Did the Washington Park Cross Race, more like a ride for me as I don't care how I do. Just getting a good work out in.
Another 2 weeks or so I should be ready to start training again.
BXM, Weight training, Ski if there's snow or riding on the week ends.

What been happening in OCT.

Last WORS race (OK)
Wisconsin State Night Race Championships (FUN!!!)
Road on the course during a cross race (Should have stayed home)
Going to see Mickey

Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival 2006

Had a great time as always and an OK race. Thurs we road trails by Telemark they were fun. Fri. was preriding the Short and Fat(smart) course.
Sat. was the race, I was 2min. slower then last year and end 5th in the SS cat. But I move up one place to 54 over all from last years 55th place.

Ojib(a something) Trail I got separated from every one and end up riding the loop the opposite direction and running into them and riding the trail back that I had already ridden. It was still a fun trail.



Short and Fat I had a preferred start from my finish last year 2nd in SS. There was a near crash just before we hit the gravel and I was off a wheel and off the main group. Kept them in site for awhile but started to slow. Pass Len at about the same point as last year and he hung with me for a while.

Shunburts

Had an OK race. Good hill workout. I owe some thanks to Buba for helping me out by giving Stuart a crap cog. His chain kept coming off so I beat him.

Days after the last night of track 2006

Wed. I finished cutting the grass. It was LONG.
Thurs. did the Wheel ride, Mike talk to me, told me he is never going to do this girls ride again and that he would also never talk to me again. I old him I never wanted to talk to him in the 1st place. We did a little dirrent route.
Ride Data click map to see more.


Sat. I did a ride at the Kettle's with my brother Jeff did Muir the connector and Carlin then back. He's riding way better then he was a month ago. It was good weather and a very nice ride.

Sun. I went to ride the Alpha stuff and ran into Keith, I have not seen or talk to him in a while. He caught me up on what has all happen since his heart attack. I end up riding for just 45 min.

Last Night of Kenosha Track 2006

It's the end of the track season already. I was tried from the weekend yet but had fun racing. Did the consolation race with Sam wish I could of been more help, but she did OK.

WORS Cup

Did both days
Day 1 Super D TT finished 3 about 8 seconds down from 2nd, short and grease not my best conditions.
Day 2 felt crummy started slow like dead last of the SSers. Road my race and pass a few along the way end up 5th and ahead of the 2nd place gut from the TT. So I got 2nd in the WORS cup, Jay got 1st.
Below is the elevation from the 3 laps of the CC race. You can click the other for more.

More Riding

Went to the Metro TT last night. Just to ride the Mt bike for about an hour. Then I went over to the BMX track to watch and talk with some of the people over there.
I did a lap with my Garmin running.
This is what it looks like.

Have not done anything on here for a little while again. I have been riding some and racing the track. Help Len move stuff to his new place and made to the Metro tt a few times now.

Below is the lasted points race at Kenosha I made my goal of finishing and having made some differents in the race, I did an OK lead out for Springer to 1 lap to go and got Sam in a good spot for the last sprint.
