last weekend eric and i went to bremerton to hangout with my grandpa so my parents could take off. they went to the lavender festival in port angeles (where i was born). they went to lunch at the fruit stand and market that my dad helped the owner build and where my mom worked about 30 years ago. i am so glad to help them, they truly deserve it.
and yes, i really look like my mom
we came home saturday night so we could go watch jill race at the alpenrose velodrome challenge. it was so fun to see her race, despite the massive sunburn i got. she was more than a little intimidated by the banking and the aggressive nature of the races (read: 15k in prize money) but stuck it out. honestly, she is one of the most kickass women and racers i know.

you can watch one of the many
horrid crashes that took place over the weekend. hurry go watch it before it gets taken down. nathan frechen, from team beer, uses someone's disk wheel as a ramp and goes airborne almost making it over the rail.
i need to find a team to train with. i want to be able to race the avc next year. hopefully the psu cycling team will provide the support and training i need.
also, i want to race cross but can't really afford a bike now (if ever). i am considering pimping out a 50$ mountain bike off craigslist. any thoughts?
