Well Nate came to the first Thursday Night World Championships with the full boat of riders. He was hanging in good for a while. At the Fox river he feel back a bunch of times and after pushing him back on I was toast. Not to bad for his first fast Thursday ride. Glen stayed back with me and we rode in together with Nate. Thanks Glen. Nate won't be on all the rides as I think it may be to much on race weeks but most of the none race weeks. After a few of these rides he will do fine and our goal is to make it farther each week.
A few things on the ride always need to be fixed before someone gets killed. On some rides the riders point out everything and it gets old fast. Well this ride the ones up front are riding with their heads down to keep the pace up to show off and are pulling out of line at the last minute and the rest in the field are fucked. Riding in holes, broken glass, piles of gravel and who knows what else. Get a clue and point the obvious stuff out. Yea no one pointed the glass out and I got a flat thanks to no one pointing out the glass. Also keep the pace as the guys in front of you if you can or get to the back. There are riders who don't like to have to chase to catch the guys rolling off. Some of the riders like to keep pace with the front group. Also when the gap forms it makes cars and trucks pissed when they have to pass several groups of riders. Also not a cool thing to go 3 wide to pass the slower rider holding up the rest of the riders. Just keep pace or ride at the back. All this does is cause the group to make unneeded speed changes and cooks some of the riders who are just hanging on. Just asking everyone to ride smart and as if you are the rider getting fucked every now and then. Enough on that. Later..

Is it the World Championship for men & women??
I guess pointing (and calling) the glass out was too obvious. Next week I'll set up a few orange cones around it.
