black cat race

well i finally had 2 days off in a row. so i used them wisely. Friday began with some good ole putsing around the house, then a 54 mile ride from the southern burbs out to st.paul back through Minneapolis and back with my coworker James. the pace was hard and the ride was fun. i refueled and got down to mankato in time for the black cat race. 2012's kickoff to the mankato alley cat series. ive won this one before, and had to go back to reclaim my title. turns out i screwed up a stop and got DQ'ed apparently that 5 years of college didn't teach me how to listen. the directions were verbal and i went to the brew stop last not first. had i gone first  i would have crushed the competition by well over 6 minuets speaking of them when i showed up they did a collective "oh fuck....werts is in town..." so that made me feel pretty good. afterwards we partied hard and i got to spend some quality time with some great people that i have not seen in months. all in all. i put in 70 odd miles Friday.

Saturday was an epically lazy day in mandatory, with no agenda i rolled around town with some friends. had some great eats from the coffee hag, my personal favorite coffee shop. it felt like home. so here is a shout out to every one that i got to see. HEY Pouya, Tiff, Brombombs, Jay, Windom, Brucacabra, Greggory, Jackie, Pat, Pat, Joe, Biggie, Ethan, Rick, Lucas, Annie, Brady, Justin, Jenna, Nick, Josh and of course the Dogs...Reese and Brutus.
