Race season is here finally!

And that means is time to start riding the bike a little bit more often :P.
This past weekend I had my first race of the year, which is the one I always kick off my race season, it is not wors series, but you know what. NON WORS races I believe are way more fun, technical and with lots of single track.
There are 2 races up in Platteville every year and those are the only 2 opportunities you have to ride those awesome trails; Kick off the season with the Platteville TT which is fun and competitive and depending who's there like this year the winner was Brendan More who is a pro from minnesota. The second one is the Block House Roll and this one is always fun too and more competitive . This year at the TT I finished 3rd, and it looks like my time was faster from last year, but I gotta say probably last years time could have been the same as this year, this year the course was dry, and last year was wet and slipery.
Anyways, there is another TT up in decorah, which I already register and for what this guy said about the forecast, all I have to say is that it's only thursday and things changes all the time, so I wont assume anything till saturday. Today the temps were really good, so I called Sonia and told her I was gonna show her some good place to ride in waukesha, so I picked up Carlitos, got the sidecar ready and we were off to that secret place :). My ride was just fine and pretty much was all about horse power. Sonia and I splitted up at some point were I couldn't ride anymore and did few short loops around and waited for her at the end of the single track and while waiting there Carlitos was enjoying a sweet nap.
Anyways, that's all for today.
Till that, see ya at the Decorah TT or Iola.

The Transition!

Hey y'all.
It's been awhile huh, well as y'all know I'm always lazy to update my blog and now with Carlitos it's even harder to slack a little bit. No time to sit in front of the computer and blog or surf :) , there are occasions when I can sit and check out other peoples blogs but I don't get motivated to blog about my life or what's around me.
Anyways, the season is right around the corner and it's time to start getting the stuff ready. In my case I don't ever buy a stock bike. I go piece by piece and put it together like a puzzle. So for this year since Sonia is getting back in the race scene and as you can see she's already doing her work outs with Carlitos. So I order another Kona frame, that's right, the same frame as mine from last year so we will have the same bike, which will be nice if I do any endurance races--I'll have two bikes with similar set-ups. (That's also the nice thing about being the same height as your wife). Also I placed an order last night for some sweet Rudy project gear and they should arrive on Wednesday, sweet!
On the other hand, as my title says Transition, I'm kinda making the move to the big wheels as it seems like everybody is getting more 29ers this year, mm nah just messing around, I would never give up on my little wheels, I might go 69er once in awhile like I did last year. I like to be in between those 2 worlds and yes, I built a 29er but it's not really mine, I got a conecte with the frame and if I like it and if isn't to big, then I would give away some $$$ for the frame and keep the bike as it is. You might ask why are those crappy pedals on the bike, well, I build the bike with whatever I got laying around in the basement just to have the bike rolling and test it outside. I might do some improvements but that will depend if I buy the frame or not.
Well, is kinda late and got a big day tomorrow stickering some awesome wheels .
'Till then, hope to see you at the TT .
Cya!
