Short Track practice?

So what do you get when you mix a new bike and WAY to many beers?

Yep, indoor short track racing.........against the dogs.

Luckily I caught my competition off guard at the start and I got the hole shot......

But by lap two the pursuit began.....and I knew I was in trouble.....

Here's where things started to go wrong.....
Over shot the turn.......
Man down! Man down...............
And yeah, it freaking hurt.........side of the island right to the knee cap.
So that was lastnight....but this morning came VERY early......not sure why. Before the beer started I had a fix gear ride planned....so I met up with Kirk and Gary in the AM for ride. Luckily the plan changed from a 40 plus (working ride) to a easy 30 mile roll down to the river for a muffin. And thank God for that, after putting in 100 miles over the last two days on the fixie (and a HEAVY hangover) my body needed just this.
So after all that the wife and I met up for a late lunch/early dinner and yes....beer was apart of the menu again. Just glad tomorrow is the start of the week again....therefore no beer for a few days. But rumor has it the wife may be playing hookie from work tomorrow......sounds like the week may start out very well......

Travis,

Just think when you get those I9's on there, the bike will be sooo much faster in the home short track series. I wonder if you can get the MASS to give you some points for that?

MASS points...Hell, I'm just hoping the giant black and blue mark is gone by race day.
