TNR Farewell and Ironman and DCC 9/15

What a week. We have had three weeks of great summer weather and today is no exception. It was a busy week here what with Ironman preparations, Door County Century, Levis Trow WORS and my niece getting married (in LaCrosse). I have over a thousand miles driven this week, changed two crudillion flats and still managed riding the Bowery every day......a little.

Tonight a half a dozen riders rode what may be the final "official" TNR of 2009. The weather the past three weeks has been great and tonight put a cherry on that. Warm, calm and sun.... sweet.

The Wisconsin Ironman took place on Sunday with hot but good conditions. I know all out local participants finished and did great.

The DCC was Sunday as well with a big field and awesome weather. This was year 30 and was one of the best. There were a lot of crashes with at least three getting a ride in the rescue squad with some nasty but not [too] serious injuries. 1900 others made it uneventfully except for Todd and Erick who went down minutes from the finish when Todd tried to play Leap Frog with Erick's bike........at 20MPH. Boys will be boys. Neither was hurt but have a good story.

We start hillbounding next week so look for the next post but keep on the bike. The weather is good and winter can wait. The FTF is this weekend and the Fox Cities Marathon. Good luck to those folks and as always SO2...........stay on two.
