October 11th we raced at alifia state park. The temps that day were in the low 90's. I rode to hard the day before on the cycle haus road ride, and ended up finishing 7th at the race. The following weekend we had a race in tallahassee at tom brown park. Temps for the start of our race which went off at 9:30 were 42 degrees, talk about going from one extreme to another. Another weekend with not a great finish, 9th place. In between races I've been road riding and started doing some cyclocross training, getting ready for a race on Nov. 8th. Time to cook some dinner then hit the rack.

Labor Day weekend we raced in the 8 hours of San Felasco in the two man category and finished in 3rd place. We were riding singlespeeds. Our competition were riding geared bikes, plus half my age. Sept.13 the florida state series started in gainesville. The pre ride on saturday was wet and muddy as it rained must of the day. The race on sunday the weather was sunny and very humid. I ended up finishing in 5th place. This past sunday we participated in 6 gap century in Georgia. I had a rough day in the saddle. My gearing for the 11,250ft. of climbing was wrong at 39x25. A compact up front with a 28 in the rear would have made a huge difference. I ended up bailing at the 70 mile mark. Our next florida state race is on oct.11 at alifia. Hope to have a great race, home course. RIDE ON.
