The Squawker Team Time Trial went pretty good! The team I was on ended up getting 3rd place to CU by one second and our other team won. FLC had three solid teams. We all had a good ride but we made some mistakes that we need to iron out. Our team consisted of Troy Well (Tiaa-Cref), Chris Kuhl (Sakonnet), Johny Hayes (Sakonnet), and myself. Right from he start we lost about 10 seconds because Kuhl's bike wasn't working. Then we drilled it out the valley and kind of blew up a little bit. Miss judged the wind a few times and I totally botched the turn around. It was so much fun to race with the college teammates. Good job to the other teammates who won!
The second stage was an uphill time trial to the top of Shalona. Alex Hagman posted the fastest collegiate time wining by one second. I ended up tying for second with Noah Singer. Noah uncorking a solid race. Good job Noah. Everyone was out there at the bottom of Shalona. It was pretty cool. One of the Chocolate Factory duded crushed it, the new guy Corey Collier. I am not sure what time Overend posted.
Today is the road race and it is usually a pretty brutal race. Ten times up the front hill of the college and back around the golf course. Things have gone really good for me on this course and also really bad. Two years ago I won and last year I cracked on like the 3rd lap, hung on for 6 and then pulled the plug. Hopefully things are different today.
I will throw up some pictures and some results tonight. Stay tuned and check out the site for some news later. Thanks for stopping by!

My Love Of BicyclesI have owned many different bicycles in my life. I decided in my early twenties that I could live just fine with just a few bicycles and without a car. I have different bicycles for different uses.I live in Houston and use the Houston streets for my transportation. I regularly use one of my light duty mountain bicycles for grocery shopping. The light duty mountain bicycles are not as tough as my mountain bicycles. Light duty mountain bikes are also referred to as trail bikes.I would never take a trail bike off-road. I have a really tough mountain bike with a full suspension system for taking camping. I try to get out and really ride on my mountain bicycle at least once per month. I usually know at least one person that is going cycling every weekend. It is easy to hitch a ride with them.Some of the most expensive bicycles are recumbent. I bought one for myself and I love it. It allows me to sit in a reclined position and pedal with my feet forward. My recumbent bicycle seat feels like a lounge chair. My model is one of the faster ones and I love it.I had a boyfriend once that was also interested in bicycles. We rode together everywhere and he talked me into buying a tandem bicycle. That was a huge mistake. We just could not work together on that bicycle and it amplified the problems in our relationship that were just below the surface. We broke up about two months after the purchase of that tandem bike.I was on one of my bicycles just getting some exercise last week and I rode past a retirement community and saw something amazing. I thought I was up on all of the available bicycles, but I had never seen an adult tricycle before. They were amazing. I stopped and chatted with one of the women riders and she told me that she hadnt been able to ride bicycles in about twenty years. She needed the stability that the adult tricycle had to offer and felt like she had new freedom.My nephew has recently become interested in bicycles. He wants a BMX bicycle for his birthday. He asked me for it because, as the most enthusiastic bicycle rider he knows, I am most likely to indulge his desire. I think that I am going to try to talk him into a free style bike instead. If I cant talk him into a free style bike, I may end up buying both bicycles for him. I want him to love cycling as much as I do.To learn more about everything bicycles vist my site at: BrensMartUSA Bicycles Have a geat day and stay healthy!Brenda Sue
