Short Track Updates and General Hi-Larity

Like old friends, I thought I'd gather us all back together here for a bit. As many of you know we've had an "interesting" first qtr around here. Getting laid-off and re-hired by the brothers J, traveling and training (for work...sad face) has left precious little time for my favorite topic......

Short.
Track.
Racing.


That link's a little taste from Sea Otter this year.



It always inspires me to see people that fit and that fast. Watching folks like crowd and rogue favorite Georgia Gould tear it up makes you want to furly(sometimes) and definitely gets the juices flowing around putting on our favorite race series. In spite of all the crazy negative shit swirling around, or possibly because of it, I was able to hunker down w Seiler and senor czerwonka for some conspiratorial planning(and drinking). somehow it'll all come together, likely at the last minute. As for my training on the bike? Hmmmm
With all of the disruptions around here Im reducing my goals from coming out like this




To something more like this......

which may be my painful reality. You think anybody willl notice the "cancellara style" motor I installed? Those 26" wheels are starting to look small these days, no?

Everybody knows that this year short track is presented jointly between Rogue Racing Project and Bob's Redmill, krekt? Good to be working with them, as we have a close relationship btw the two teams(bordering on a restraining order for one mr neviiteaux, who will remain nameless...or first-nameless)

So back to all things fast and dirty. Did I mention that this year we are partnering with Stomach of Anger for Short Track T-shirts. What? Short Track Shirts? 3 other words, right? Check their site, they are the bomb and Im not even kidding. Any business based on inside cycling jokes has got to be a player on this team. Plus we got to hang w them at Barry-Roubaix and they are good folks. Go buy something from them while you're waiting to see what they come up with for us....Im betting it'll be summed up w some familiar verbage....btw 2 and 4 words, prolly.

What else do I have for you? Hopefully a freaking draught to dry out Eva Bandman so we can get to racing and training. It'll all happen, tho patience is not my greatest virtue(nor is silence). I've talked to a lot of the usual suspects and have a few locked ini to help out. Bobrow will again run the kid races(he's an odds on favorite to win at least 3).

Shit, I promised hi-larity. I got nothing. Definitely not the passover joke I was told yesterday, even tho it did make my kids laugh. Kind of a small audience.

So lets review...
Yours truly- working his ass clean off
Stomach of Anger-selling you shirts
short track-coming faster than you think
