We have a few sledding hills...man made of course. :thumb: But its a hill none the less and two blocks from my door! No such luck on the road, though.

I'll give you that. The sledding hill used in Northbrook last year was pretty gnarly. :p

Um... Upgrade approved!

This could turn out to be a bad idea...

Cat 3. The same cat, of course, I will retire in!

If only I could ever get there on the road...

Awesome. Oh you will, you've got the speed.

Frunkin 09-22-09 09:52 PM

Won the B's tonight. I would have gotten 2nd in the A's behind kyle jacobson. That was crazy fun, and a good way to start my first race.

John Wilke 09-23-09 02:56 AM

Excellent.

Frunk:
Where were you racing last night?

John Wilke 09-23-09 11:54 AM

Pretty sure it was Estabrook Park in Milw.

Mayonnaise 09-23-09 12:53 PM

okay all you muthas, I'm going to ride my bike to work. First time since early July. Very big day for me.

John Wilke 09-23-09 01:20 PM

Keep the rubber side down. :)

Scummer 09-23-09 01:31 PM

Good luck on your commute!

Porkchopwi 09-23-09 02:09 PM

Too far for a weeknight. Hoping he was racing up in the valley....
Thanks for the intel!

Frunkin 09-23-09 06:30 PM

Yeah, estrabrook park. I think team pegasus puts it on. It's pretty informal, $5 to race, 15ish guys even though it was raining. But it was lot's of fun, and I'm thinking about racing in sun prairie instead of just watching the pros.

Did I read this right?? :D

Frunkin 09-23-09 07:31 PM

I meant racing 4's instead of just watching the pros. Ugh, I'm not that delusional...

John Wilke 09-23-09 08:05 PM

:roflmao2:

I'll be there, camera in hand, recording all the fun.

From the Madcross e-list:

"Don't forget that tomorrow (Thursday) at 4pm pre-registration for the USGP Planet Bike Cup closes. If you haven't registered do so at http://www.bikereg.com/events/Register.asp?EventID=9185

Racers in the non-elite races can register day-of for an extra $10 and must do so at least one hour before the race start. Elite men and women must pre-register.

Thanks,


PS - The course is looking awesome this year and we're back on the hill we all love but it is going to feel a bit different than the past with some new twists/turns. You can pre-ride on Friday afternoon from 2-4pm.

So Bike Forums is all famous now? When do my residual checks start showing up?

John Wilke 09-24-09 12:56 PM

Luke posts here? When? I had a feeling he worked for the Trib., wasn't sure though. That's cool. Maybe he can get media passes for the Olympics!

You can get time off to go to Rio? Very cool.
