oh scott, lets not get too cocky now.

(though the drive through CT is a bummer).

yeah, no offense to ct, but that place is like new jersey for me, it's some kind of a purgatory; it's an endless drive that keeps nyc separated from boston and nyc separated from philly. still though, i've been told good things about the people in new haven when it comes to putting on races.

proove me wrong new haven, why dont-cha? just wanted to thank you guys again for putting on a great race. I had a blast (getting lost) down there, you all need to make your way up to boston for an alley cat, some bike polo, and some beers!

here are the pictures i took from before the race, i wish i got more though....

also, nyc crew - come up some time also, we'll party it up. you guys would love our schlitz blitz and our super-secret ultra-ghettodrom...you have no idea what you're missing out on...

thanks for coming down... we got a weekly ghettodrome too going in the Ikea parking lot once the weather is consistantly nice.

dudes, i had a killer time. nice hanging out with the boston kids, and nice riding a fast, fun race (thanks to sean, tom, and sponsors!). and super nice chillin in NH again. fun, wonderful people.

polo and hangouts were superfun.

and next time, maybe i'll have the sprintin' legs left in me to reel in jay...

****, somehow i missed out on getting a Haus portrait

yeah guys, thanks to the race organizers and the new haven crew for the fun race/polo/hangin out, i had a blast. good times with team wreck stuff/nyc people as well, hope to do it again sometime.

That was a nice race.. at first it seemed a little short, but i think kind of enjoyed the striaght forward fast pace short distance style...

yesterday was absolutely incredible. the race was super fun and i'm so glad that three different cities got together and rocked out so hard. lots of familiar faces (get better soon, nugent!), some old friends, some new faces and some new friends. a day like that where everyone gets along so well and rides really hard isn't easy to come by. thanks again to sean and tom for putting this race together and to nick james, scott horrigan and haus for taking some really great photos. congratulations to jay for taking first place and congratulations to Mattio for winning in general throughout the entire day.

and Team Wreck Stuff is ****ing sexy.

aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

thanks back for all the awesome!

oh, and Mattio, thanks for letting me try out your ATACs... I'm now sold on them, even if I ended up on my back the first time I tried to trackstand (at least i got my feet out!)

hahaha, you're not the only one. scott's got some photos of me on the ground, hurting myself tryin' to replicate some one-footed foot-on-tire trackstands.
