long week

its been an exhausting week. last sunday was the state race at buck hill. rode like crap, finished 12th over all. Monday I started as a detail design drafter at toro, working 6:30am -4pm. 4:45 had me back at the bike shop. rode hard on tuesday with james, did the double wed, raced buck again on thursday and had the best race of the season setting a personal best of 57min and some change. did the double again on friday and squeaked in a ride at leb. worked all day sat at the bike shop. then with absolutely no gas in the tank tried to race today in the state race at hillside. it was horrible, i won a set of x9 2x10 shifters though. so i was happy. this week should be better. but who knows. later....

stepping down

Well Im stepping down from a full time bike mechanic to a full time detail design drafter on monday. I'll still be picking up 15hrs a week or so at eriks, but we will see how long that lasts. Im getting pretty brunt of the place. The treatment of employees with in the company is an absolute joke. Any way finally got the caffeine set up tubeless with some new Rager 29-1 tires. the cornering grip is really impressive looking forward to racing them 2x this week at buck hill, as I get the double dose of Thursday nights and mnmtb series taking place at that venue.
