We had a great day of racing, indulging in food and drink and pitching in to do course cleanup

yesterday at Sprinker Rec Area in Tacoma- site of a Seattle CX series race.  Rain gave way to sun and broken clouds midday and the races we were focused on were rather dry.  The course was somewhat dizzying with repeated 180 degree turns but the venue proved to be fast in some spots and soggy & slow in others - fear the sandpit!  Here are a few pics of our new tent and the guys in action

Warming up for race time

Next week the real racing starts.

Don Wells, Matt Haldeman and Ryan Vanderloop tore it up last Friday at the Marymoor Velodrome.

Erik, Chris, Ken, Don, Phil & Ron are all attending different portions of the Tour of California.  Here is a close-up pic of Thor Hushovd warming up for the prologue- Erik said he even got Thor to sign one of our jerseys!  What a good Viking!  It is pretty cool when you get to see these guys up close- cycling allows that access like no other sport.

Let’s all get out riding!
