Track Track Track…LA World Cup Scratch
I pretty much did it the hardest way possible. Group of 10 gets off the front about a half lap up, 2 riders chase them out of the group, then there is me firing off a hail mary to bridge. It is much MUCH easier to lap the field with nearly 10 guys as it is solo bridging to a small group, then lapping. On the rivet was I! I went for it at least. Everything and the kitchen sick seemed to being through at the fan….this was a mega-shit hitting the fan race (as was Creed’s Points Race). I somehow bridged to a very select group near the end of the race, only to make the wrong pull and the perfectly timed swing up, as the Argentinean Perez and the Polish rocket attacked our group. So I was instantly gapped, I gave it full throttle only to loose more positions then by the line I was overtaken like I was sitting still. Thankfully I had the one lap up on a few guys and came in 9th. Hopefully that gave USA a qualifying spot for Worlds?
Creed killed it in the points race, his 1st ever World Cup Points Race, and rode pretty swell as I see it. He rode on guts, went with attacks, bridged to attacks, and went for 1 or 2 solos, but alas he was pretty marked as he and David “Irish” O’loughlin lapped the field pretty handily in the qualifier. Once he and I get this World Cup racing figured out…look out!

I am Jealous-I want to be there watching all of this-but thanks for the epic, colorful descriptions. I am stupid anyhow, know very little about riding a bike on the track, but you guys seem to make it more entertaining then me running a 10K on the track.
Anyhow, i have been planning our birthday party. Hope you can make it. If not, let me know where you are at, and I’ll contribute to post fat kids camp. I did redeem myself on the peanut butter rice krispie bar shit bricks-these are MINT and I melted a 1/2 lb hershey bar on top. Too bad it is just sitting on my kitchen counter giving me two thumbs up. Chad yelled at me for throwing away a pan of brownies yesterday-we had a snow day on Tuesday and I got bored. Chad says I can’t cook, but I can bake-I just don’t eat it. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to show you guys the crazy naughty librarian Chad fell in love with-he has actually tamed me down with his church going ways as of recent.
Back to the football game……..
