Just got back from kenosha.

Managed a short 30 minute MTB ride along a dark Lake Michigan shore after a LONG and EXCITING day at the Superweek races.

First:

Chad Hartley (Jittery Joe's) has taken the lead over Rahsaan Bahati (Rock Racing) in the Points Competition and Jonathan Cantwell (Jittery Joe’s) added to his lead in the overall standings over Rock's Sterling Magnell.

HOWEVER, I have from a very good source that the battle will still be on at Downer Avenue and that Rock Racing still want's the overall title. In addition, it's the concensus of the locals here, that since there is no other racing nearby for tomorrow (Saturday), many of the top riders slated to ride Sunday's Chicago Criterium (Alex Candelario, David Veilleux, Benjamin Jacques-Maynes Ivan Dominguez, and perhaps Chris Horner (Astana) ???) will come up and race at Downer Avenue! With a $4,000 + prime on the line ... who wouldn't drive 90 miles to take a crack at that???

Second, take a look at this field sprint from the 3's race today:



Mathew Smith (Vitamin Water - Trek) beat Alex Voitek (Turin) buy mere inches in the Catagory 3 race as a horrendous crash was in progress behind them that required three (3) ambulances to carry away the injured !!


WOW !

What a day.

Gotta find a way to sleep because tomorrow is gonna be BIG !!!
