California Uber Alles
March 30, 2010"California Uber Alles"
Now it is 1984
Knock-knock at your front door
It's the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece
Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower.-Dead Kennedy's 1980
Last weekend's race at Fontucky went pretty well, except for the gale force Santa Ana's on Saturday's XC race, makes for a bad hair day! Otherwise the low 80 degree temps in March would be a welcomed site in most other states.
Next up on the Team Sho-Air/Specialized tour de Cali is the H2O Overdrive Regional Triple Crown at Santa Ynez on 4/11, then the following week, were off to the Sea Weasel Classic in Monterey. Both those races are in Central California, which is always nice this time of year, with lush green rolling hills, and most likely some rain!
But were almost out of our California run….we've got three Cali races down, two in the oven, before the team heads back east and I'm looking forward to a change of scenery.
Max and Sid picked up a 3rd and 4th respectively last weekend at the Pro XCT opener, but the race literally came down to the last 90 seconds, as Wells, Kabush and the boys were all battling for the win! Also props to Wellsy for taking the XC victory, he definitely earned it! Sound like with all the money he won, he's going to buy Meg and Myron some Sketcher Shape Up's after the big victory on Saturday.
On Sunday, the guys had fire in their eyes and our little Aussie friend was pretty determined to pop off a win in the short track. Max ended up playing the "Mountie"... And a great team role sitting in the chase group, as Sid and Trebon dropped the hammer from the start. Then the Max sliced through the pack on the last lap to put Team Sho-Air/Specialized 1st and 3rd on the box…..nice work laddies!
Till next time,
Keep the pedals turnin'
