Racing and relaxing

We got the bikes on the rack and roof of the truck and arrived to the Elm Grove crit. Then got them registered and warmed up for the race. It went off and they got a group of 6 away from the rest and they rolled around for a while. Mitch pushed the pace a few times up the hill but it didn't shake the others so it stayed that way till the last lap. Coming down the hill the kid from Michigan got the win followed by Mitch then Peter, Nate, some other in 5th and the Gage. They got some extra spending money for their efforts and they all raced great. We loaded the bikes and hit the road to my brothers. The traffic was crappy in 2 spots were it was stopped for no reason. Just made the trip a little longer but we were glad that it was no accident or any thing. We stopped in Warrens to see one of Cece's friends place and say Hi to Edddie for his 30th birthday. Then we made the last hour and half to Wade's place. Got here and unloaded the truck and you would have thought we were staying for a month. Got the stuff put away and then the kids played, played pinball, slot machine, blowing game, 4 wheeled, hot tub, swimming, chased the cows sat by the fire and who knows what else. And this is just the first day. Now it is time to just relax, ride and have a few cocktails. Later..
