I am who i am.... and I like it. I do what I do....and I like it. I choose to live the way that I live...and I like it. If this is not good enough then it is really not my fucking problem!

Today was the first cross race in Port Alberni ( one of my favorite venues for any racing ) and all my talk of a dry cross season really got smacked away today. It poured as soon as we turned onto the Alberni Highway. Oh well, its more fun in the mud right? the venue was Maclean Mill, a National Heritage site and man it was cool.

These are only Cat4 races fro me but never having raced its where i start. That and its only an excuse to ride for me while Mical races. I have won a couple on the island in the Cross on the Rock series put on by the amazing tandem of Wendy Simms and Norm Thibeault ( both of whom won nationals) so I am really having fun on the bike again. I feel sorry for my mtn bike because I am so not interested in it right now. And now sadly I will not be Fully rigid anymore as not only do i have a fork but I have traded my steel
