July 9th, 2007 |The only training rides that I am going to be able to fit in now days are my riders with Toddler Smithers hauling him around in the trailer.
On the ride this evening Toddler Smithers identified a little dear that ran along the side of the road with us for a half block as a ga-gogee (doggie) and a whoo-whoooo (train).
Despite the fact that I am currently sitting in 3rd place in the Track Rider of the Year standings, the first place rider Brian Crosby now off traveling the country testing his fitness against other riders on other tracks, I do not have much hope that I am going to be able to capture this valuable award by the end of the year. Der Kruser is currently 3 points ahead of me in the standings and I know of 3 nights of racing that I am going to miss for the rest of the year while Der Kruser will probably not miss one single night of racing. I suspect that he is going to make a run for TROY and my fitness is questionable for the balance of the season. I’ll try to be competitive for the rest of the year but we’ll see how things go. I am not optimistic.
I am pretty sure that I am not going to race cross this fall.
In every other way however life is grand! Our annual family vacation to the east coast is coming up week after next and I am trying to line up a guest blogger for the week. I’ll keep you updated.
