Rain/Race

Today Nate and I were on the fence to race or not to race as racing in the rain bites. But when I got up it was not raining and the stupid weatherman sad the rain was going to hold off till later. So I woke Nate up and asked him if was thinking that he might want to race. He said yeah why not? So I got the bike and wheels out and loaded and he ate his bowl of cream of wheat and off we were. Once we got there and paid to race the freak'n rain started to come down. Wouldn't you figure pay and then the rain comes. Well he was sitting nice and just finished in the pack taking 7th. Now all cold and wet we pinned a new number on and then Nate toes the line in the cat 4 race. He was sitting near the front for the first 7 laps of the 11 laps that they did. Then the field comes past and I don't see Nate. Then all of a sudden he rolls up the finish hill and I figured that he was frozen to death and pulled, no he was taken out in a crash. Another racer went down and in the turn and Nate t-boned the guy and went over the bars. Nate got up and rolled to the finish line to renter the race. He just asked for his brake levers to be straightened and get back to racing. Again once back in he stayed up front and finished 9th at the end. Cold and wet he raced to the truck to warm up and dry off. Good racing in bad weather and he wasn't hurt which is the only thing that matters. He did stay that it was fun elbowing a xXx racer that kept trying to push Nate off a wheel during the race and finally the guy gave up when Nate would push him harder back. See bmx helps in road racing to.

Tonight going to go and see Jim Greenfield's band play at Benno's. Should be a interesting show. I have a feeling that his band is going to be playing Boy's to Men and Madonna. I guess I just have to wait and see. Then tomorrow if it is not raining Nate is going to race in Fitchburg. Hope it stops raining so he can race. Later..
