Lowell up next

Or Shedd Park. I've always just called it Lowell. I missed it last year with the massive mud bog. But the previous two years I made it. Lowell was where the super spy photos of the croll twisted like a pretzel under me as I sprinted on the cinder track were taken. It is one of CTodd's favs iirc. It usually is a good show. Every year though it has been different.

This year it will be back to 35+ and 45+ together. And we've got a pretty decent sized field for both for a non-verge race.

Truth be told, Sucker Brook, Canton and Lowell are probably three of the biggest non-verge venues in New England. For good reason.

I managed to get the bike washed last night. Not spit polished clean, but it no longer is sporting massive amounts of mud and grass. I've got goals for the race tomorrow. And I'm even working on a plan. The schedule should be finalized before i get everything ready for tomorrow tonight. 10:45 start is different enough that I have to re-think everything. It'll be good though.

It's been an interesting week. Can't believe Nationals are almost here. Crazy.

I miss the mud bog. That gravel grabs your wheel and does not let go. Those ruts were f*cking scary.

meh those ruts weren't a problem - hit them with speed, let the bike ride in them and you have plenty of time to correct once through. I gained on everyone through there.

too many twisties and stuff.

that and day 1 curse plagued me.

K is still glowing about "her" winnings.
