Another Great Weekend!

Jingle Cross Iowa City

An amazing weekend of racing! The weather for November was almost summer like. With dry conditions and balmy temps, racers and spectators both got to see some of the best CX racing in the mid west.

I went into the weekend not expecting much as far as results since I was racing the 3/4 category and i'm a sub average 4 at best. But on Sat I got 32 out of 50 riders and left feeling good about my performance. Sunday was not the same story.

Due to work I had to race the earlier masters race. I haven't raced masters all year, and know there are some major local players that swim in that water. They didn't disapoint, and I was shelled out the back before the first lap was half over. But IZZY RACING had a great time on Saturday and we have some more great memories of time spent together. Next weekend is the last race of the year for me. The Illinois State cx championships. There calling for snow!!!

Hello and Welcome.

Welcome to the new site for the IZZY RACING team. Actually we're not a team but a family that spends most weekends racing bicycles. As dad I get the honorary title as captain of the team, but probably have the least talent. After 5 yrs of road racing i'm still just a cat4 pack filler. My new escapade is cyclocross racing where i'm still just as bad, only it's cold and I get muddy!
Tommy is 8yrs old, and has grown up on the BMX track. Last year he upgraded from rookie to novice. By the end of the season he was making huge improvements. All his work paid off with a third place finish at the East Moline summer nationals. We couldn't have been more proud!
Clay is 5 and just started racing this year in the rookie division. What "izzy" lacks in stature, he makes up in attitude. He may not be the biggest kid on a bike, but he races with a swagger that any dad would be proud of.
Team manager is my wife of 14 years Kris. As you can imagine this is the worst job in the whole organization! The hours are long and the pay (if we paid her) is terrible. She is our cook,driver, scheduler,medic,psychologist-when we loose, and most importaint the best one person cheering section a team could have. We are lucky to have her.....
Thats the team! I'll try to keep the site posted as regular as I can. We hope to see you at whatever type of race we're doing . If you see us, make a point of saying hello and introducing yourself. Thanks for reading. Ty
