Today was the Humboldt Park crit which is nice as it is just 2 minutes from the house. This morning Cece woke me up and said it raining and I thought great 3 days in a row of racing in the rain. But as we got ready the rain stopped and the roads started to dry up and the course was perfect. Aris, Nate, and Mitch toed the line for the race and it was nice to see more EXPO family racing the road again. The race went off and the guys just stayed together for most of the race as Mitch dropped off the pace about 3/4 of the way through and Aris and Nate stayed near the front for the rest of the race. Aris gave Nate a lead out up the hill and then Nate tried to go for the win but a downhill finish and Jr gears left him short and he settled for 3rd on the day. Not bad as he has been on the podium every race so far. Aris was 16th and Mitch was 18th. Nate moved up to 5th overall and he has only done 4 races of the 16. If he did a few more I think he would have run away with the overall. Now we are getting ready to head to the Downer Ave race to watch the pro's. Tomorrow is the the Whitefish Bay race and that is always a fun day there to. See you at the races. Later..
