Racing in Madison

 Craig giving the Jr racers the instructions at the line.

 Nate with his game face on.

 Nate and the Jr kids chill'n as Garrett, Max and Peter are up the road.

 Fixxie watching the Jr ISCorp team race.

Peter taking the win with Max 2nd and then Nate won the field sprint and Kevin took 5th.  Good racing by all the Jr Iscorp kids again.

I raced the master 35 plus cat 3,4 race and it was uneventful as a few got off the front and then their team mates blocked well and I was just sitting in and hoping to make it to the finish with the group.  It has been a while since I raced on the road and the ABR racing is not as aggressive to say and I made it with the field for the sprint and rolled in at 18th place.  Good day as I finished and I didn't get crashed out.  The high light of the day I have to say was Simon winning his first first and then Billy also winning the Master 35 plus 1,2,3 race for a double win for the ISCorp Jones racers.  Now today is some riding and then a trip down to Marian University Friday so Nate can registrar for his classes and get everything in line as he will be in Belgium and then in Canada racing when the days to do registration are planned.  Seems like we have been there alot in the past few months.  Wait we have but it is worth the trips for sure.  Later....

Pictures of fixxie






It has been a while since I posted just pictures of Fixxie.  Her are a few of her over the past couple of weeks.  She loves to roll around in her bed and then when ever someone sits down she wants up on their lap and then proceeds to fall asleep.  She had a little fun this morning though as Jessie put her candy on a table next to the couch upstairs and Fixxie found it.  She ate a lot of it and then puked it all up all over the kitchen and in the bedroom.  Nice way to wake up this morning, NOT.  Hope Fixxie is all ok now so that Cece doesn't have to keep chasing around cleaning up after her.  I also hope that Jessie is not to mad as she has no candy left after Fixxie found it.  I guess the note on the table stating This is Jessie's candy do not eat any was not seen or read by Fixxie.   Later..

Last few rides

 Nate leaving me in the dust again.

 Last effort I was to close so he drilled it more to drop me.

 My Dad motor pacing us yesterday, thought we wanted to go fast from the start. Not...

 He got it down after a few miles.

 It was cool out but nice behind the Audi.

 Even behind the car I suck on hills.

 Nice ride along the Wisconsin river during the ride.

 Some cranes that ran as we went past.

My view today as I drove and Nate only rode and did a nice interval workout that would have killed me.

Then a few burn offs at the end to toast him real good.  Thanks to Wade for the weekend in Stevens Point and Mom and Dad for the great Easter and fun time upnorth.  It was nice that Tim made the trip to Sevens Point for Easter and we were all there for some fun and laughs.  Now it is back to the real world as Nate has a trip to Marian University on Thursday that Cece is going along with him and then right back the same night.  That is going to be a long day of 9 hours on the road.  Then we have a few days of work for me and then more riding and racing tossed in.  Oh yeah Fixxie was great in the car and at Wade's and then at my parents place.  The cat hid the last 2 days but Fixxie was great and had no issues at either place.  Later...

Stevens Point

 Nate pulling me along yesterday.

 Nate and I in the middle of nowhere.

 Scott, Nate and Mark pulling me along the roads around Stevens Point for a few hours.

 Red Neck garden behind this palace, alot of old trucks and trailers.

 There were so many used tires around this place as they were piled everywhere.  WTF?

 Alot better going with the wind.

Fixxie was beat after a few days outside all day.

It has been a few great days here in Stevens Point as the weather has been perfect for riding and getting a bunch of chores done for Wade.  Yesterday we got here and had a quick lunch and hit the road for a nice spin before dinner and then relaxing watching some movies with Wade.  This morning Scott Cole and I connected and Nate and I meet Scott and Mark for a nice tour around the Stevens Point area.  Thanks Scott and Mark for a great ride.  Then when we got home Nate and I cleaned the gutters and then we got a few things done in the garage.  My parents are here also for Easter and my brother Tim is cruising up tomorrow for too.  Now we are just chill'n watching some movies and catching up.  Happy Easter to all.  Later..
