Izzy Takes Two 3rd Places.

This is camping "mmmmm pizza"

While the first camping trip was a short one, we cut no corners on quality camp food. While many people think of Dutch ovens, hot dogs over a open fire, we went pizza joynt pizza!

But yes this is still a "bike blog" and around camping and family time I did get almost 6 hours in the training log. My first full week of road miles since pneumonia, and all seems well. The pizza and beer was just carb loading!

Maiden voyage of family truckster.

Izzy racing team took its' shake down run of the new camper this weekend. While others were racing Finchford, we were making s'mores. The weather was a tad chilly on Sat, perfect campfire weather. Plus the new rig has a heater!!!

New Cross Bike in April?

Why a new cross bike in April? Call it motivation to train harder for Sept! So next season no more bar end shifters for me. It's still steel and a tad heavy (just like it's rider). But the components are more gooder and it oozes "old school". Besides, if I rode a bike with composite anything on it, i'd feel mork guilty about my weekly poor race finishes. This ride allows me to keep my status at the back of the pack, just a tad shinier!

Too busy spending money to race.

After several weeks off the bike to recover from pneumonia, i'm back to training at a good clip. I haven't had any hard group rides or races yet, and i'm getting a tad anxous. I'm not sure when the first race will be, but I want it to be soon.

In my off the bike time I've made several purchases. The big one is the new IZZY RACING TEAM tour bus! It doesn't have the same shwag as say the Discovery team bus but it will work for our low budget team. We have several BMX races on the calendar for Izzy and Re-run. Stay tuned for some "RV" stories in the near future!
