Boner...the squirrel hunter!

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, FOR MY WHEELS BRING DEATH!

One of my regular training routes takes me along the Alameda Creek Trail out to Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont. For whateve reason, my wheels appear to be squirrel magnets. Many, and I mean MANY, four legged, bushy tailed, little nut gatherers have met their end thanks to my Mavic DOOM-bringers. Little did I know when I took up cycling that I would be the Pale Rider of the Rodent World.

Rest in peace my furry friends...and may your mouth be filled with nuts. Wait, what?

Cats Hill has come and gone and in many ways it was a tremendous success. The FFBC Race Team was well represented with riders in the races for Category 5, 4, 3 and Masters 1/2/3. Even though none of us won the our races, we had a great time at the event and handed out a lot of Champion Nutrition product samples.

Thanks to our sponsors for their help!

Riders ready....?

First entry of my new blog and it comes at a very good time. I and the rest of my FFBC/Champion Nutrion teammates are getting ready for this weekends Cat's Hill Classic. For those of you that don't know, Cat's Hill is one of NorCals kickass bike races- with a GREAT course, a super crowd and dialed in organization. This is one of the races on the calendar that has the feel of a classic. In my book, Cat's Hill ranks up there with Nevada City, Redlands and the Manhattan Beach GP in terms of great California Criteriums.

I'm completely excited about this race. I've been helping some of my teammates prepare for this race. Cat's Hill will mark the first race for my bro ED. Some people may want to start small and work their way up...not Ed. He's attacking the calendar by going straight for the jugular. He's new to racing, but has a huge heart and a lot of guts. I think he'll surprise himself with how well he does this Saturday.

I'll be adding pics to this blog soon and updating my profile. Just wanted to get the ball rolling with this first entry.
