Roseville & Livermore

Thanks to Southwest and a couple bounces to and from Nor-Cal I spent a couple weeks training and grabbing some more scores. Nate & I drove up to Roseville with a truckload full of goodies to hold over 2 weekends of racing. The ABA Summer Nationals in Roseville turned out to be pretty hot even though it was a month earlier. The track was different but not. The layout was the same generic but new carved up lips to create the "uci effect" without the cost of all the dirt. Pretty lame to lay it out that way, pony up and buy some dirt and make a decent size track. It was still all about power out there. I was able to squeeze the main both days, but ended up outside and with burner gates both days I settled for that 5th and 6th each day.

It's always good going up to the area thanks to housing by my sister and a weekend of river combined with racing. My luck at wake boarding didn't go so well with the unhealed shoulder I get to keep all year. It was still fun on the boat. A couple dialed road rides added to the week up there. After a week home we flew back up to Sacramento and hit the river and road bikes again. Took the trip to Livermore on Friday and raced the NBL Regional with some low moto counts. It was only a 20 moto race but 26-34 had a class both days. It was fun to mix it up, nobody could take home a perfect and I did my best edging out a 1st and 2nd each day. The bummer of the weekend was having to drive back home on Sunday. This week is going by quick just like every week. I had to work yesterday, playing the bike thing today, checking out the new NBL track in Kernville tomorrow and hitting the Vans warped tour by the weekend. All of this will go down as I tune in a training schedule for the next couple weeks and begin a little taper for that monster called South Africa.
