How many more Tuesday night crits?

Hi guy's and gals! How many are left? I'd like to squeeze another couple in if I could!

Behind the Peloton

Two Wheel Jones at Prescott Punisher 4/10/10

Nate Rees almost pulled off another win in the 15-18 Cat 2 group but was held off in the sprint for the finish in a race that ended with a deep sandy curve. Garrett Chott fell victim to a cut tire in one of the water crossings but was able to get it fixed in time for 5th, also in the 15-18 Cat 2 group. I was able to come up with a 7th place finish in 40-49 Cat 2 despite having a stomach cramp for the first lap. Trying to catch up on hydration in the half hour before the race was a bad idea. This race was held at the Alto Pit OHV area which gives the course lots of loose decomposed granite, many banked turns and numerous steep climbs.

Whiskey Offroad April 24th

The Whiskey Offroad is coming up on Saturday April 24th. This is an endurance mountain bike event that starts on Whiskey Row in Prescott. There are 15, 25 and 50 mile options and there's a bit of climbing involved. See http://www.epicrides.com/wor/wor.htm for details. I think there are four of us from TWJ so far signed up but it would be great to have more join us! The 50 proof is roughly half of the Leadville 100 in terms of distance and climbing, just at a little lower altitude.

Tuesday Night Worlds

Anyone racing this Tuesday night? I'm in for the C race.

Also, I'm going to take Tricia's suggestion and race Wet and Wild Crit on Apr. 24 and then Ride for the Children (at race pace if everyone wants to) on Apr. 25. There was no interest for the southern California races.

Please share your race calendars.

Great Day for a Bicyccle Ride

Congrats to all of our team and club riders who rode El Tour de Phx today! It was an absolutely awesome day...and NO TWJ crashers this time! Shawna & Kathy- AMAZING to make that ver;y difficult platinum time. You proved to all of us that it is possible, despite our original thoughts. Everyone else improved their personal times significantly and that makes it a sucessful race. See all of you out there this week! Time to have a little post race fun! ~Nicole
