Road trip to 2nd city

Izzy racing went to Chicago to race in the Illinois state cx race at Montrose park. We planned on making it a weekend leaving on Friday and racing on Sunday. The mid-west was hit by the first big snow storm of the year on Thursday, so the normally 21/2 hr drive turned into 4 but we made it none the less.
We spent the whole day Sat. just doing the tourist thing downtown and soaking up the christmas spirit stuck in traffic on Michigan ave!
Sunday morning came and I woke up in the hotel room feeling sluggish and not very motivated to race. All the walking the day before left my legs feeling full of lead. I turned on the weather channel and saw the temps were -2F with the windchill. I crawled back into bed and that was the end of the 2006 cx season......
Not very manly but to be honest, i'm glad the season is over. I had no real big successes all year. To be honest it was a real below average season all around. So to get it over with is a blessing!
The planning for the off-season has already begun, and after a week of recovery totally off the bike, I will begin my 2007 push. Don't know yet what my goals are, but when you're at the bottom of the cat4 heap there is only one way to go. UP! Thanks for reading. Ty

Photos of the weekend are comming!
