Honor Thy Mother



Last Sunday was Mother's Day and because I was racing and couldn't spend the day with my mother, I thought what better way to celebrate my mom than to eat a half-priced cake in her honor? Afterall, the end of the Joe Martin crit on Sun. marked the beginning of my mid-season break.


I'm still bumming a bit about not winning Joe Martin but we definitely raced our hearts out on Sat. trying to regain the lead. OUCH did an impressive job of defending the jersey. Thanks to my Dad, Uncle Don and Margie for cheering us on every stage of the JMSR! Sorry we couldn't win it for you guys. :(
Next race for me is Philly and I'm giddy b/c it'll be my first go at that U.S. classic. Watch out Manayunk - my fat @$$ is coming!!

If you're rolling through Des Moines on break, give me a holler. We can grab lunch or something.

The Bissell Team is smokin' hot. Another overall team win. Great team work goin' on. I'm so lookin' forward to seeing you guys in the Nature Valley. I may have to wear my new hat. Good luck in Philly and don't forget to visit Independance Hall if you get the chance.

Hey Zirbel,
Looked good in Manayunk yesterday. I'm guessing Kirk was the protected rider though.

“I think we are in the best position,” said Sutherland, “If it comes down to the climb in Mankato [on the finishing circuit of Saturday’s road race], I would rather be chasing Zirbel than chasing Ben [Jacques-Maynes, last year’s TT winner]. I think I am a better climber than he is.”

OH NO HE DIDN'T! Kick his ass Tommy Boy!
