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!

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.

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!)
