Happenings

Just catching up on some past weekends here.

Two weekends ago, Tonia and Trent came to visit. We had a good time...just hung out for the most part. They both brought their bikes, so we went on some rides around town. Trent has a dream of owning a motorcycle with a sidecar one day, so he wanted to get the feel of it on my new motorbicycle (sans sidecar).

Me giving him a tutorial.

He's a quick learner...look at him go!
Taking meine schwester for a little spin around the court.

Last weekend was 24/9 in Wausau, WI. I met fellow TBB members Dave, Greg, and Rick there and we setup camp on Friday evening. Dave and Rick were doing the Solo race, while Greg and I teamed up to try our hand in the Duo category.

The campsite.

Right before the LeMans start.

Here come the runners!

That's all the pictures I have. The rest of the time I was too busy racing, talking, or sleeping. :)

It was a good time, the course was really fast and dry. And VERY dusty. Greg and I pretty much took it easy. Nice breaks in between laps so as not to kill ourselves, but we had some fast laps and only two mechanicals (flat tire for Greg on his first lap and a blown primary light bulb for me on one of my night laps). Fun race. We ended up 8th in the Duo category, with Dave and Rick finishing 28th and 32nd in the Solo category.

Today was Heather's bday. Once she got off work we went out to eat and then celebrated with a DQ Blizzard cake at home. Good times. On Friday we go in for the big ultrasound to determine the sex of the baby! Exciting! She'll probably update her blog with more details on that...

Next week is the craziness that is the Trek World dealer show. On Sunday I hope to do a WORS race about 1.5 hr from here depending on what we have to do for TW. But next week is both fun and crappy at the same time. It's like working two work weeks in one (and then being right back at work the following Monday), but it's cool seeing all the new product, eating free food, and meeting some of the dealers. Tired times await...
