Not too much has happened since my last post I do believe. Well, things have changed in the BMX world. Stumpy took the Elite Men Title with a win at the Grands, after winning the Pro Spectacular Friday night. Becerine took second and J-Rich 3rd. I heard the Top5 are all over 30, no imagine if they went Vet Pro? Dale Holmes looked good for the vet pro title but I heard he crashed or something in the main. Kenth Fallen took the overall, he's about 4 yrs younger than Dale too. Looks like I missed a good Grands, my mate Jason Morgan grabbed 2nd in 41+ Novice overall and Chad 'sublime' Powers took a great 3rd in 25-29 Cruiser, good on yer mate.
My class was won by Bill Young, congrats to the man, from an inside gate, with Pat Parker taking second. Pat was on it all weekend, but got gate 8 in the final and held high in the first corner. http://www.go211.com/videos/9036/ Still those 2 are in a class of their own in 26-34x. Wonder if Pat will go Vet Pro, although not sure he is 30 yet? I'm dieing to know where I ended up overall. Be great if I could have stayed in the Top 20, but I think with 104 riders and nearly 40 riders at the Grands in my class and all their points double, not likely. Check out www.go211.com for Grands coverage.
I rode sunday and monday on the safety cycle. I am really enjoying riding the cruiser and after I ride I don't get any problems with my wrist, which I am still getting on the 20". Got a bad case of throttle grip on the 20" too, I think it's the humidity but the new S&M grips I have put on will not stick to the bars, waste of $10 and $15 for nice ali end caps too! I will get some more ODI Ruffian Lock-Ons like on my cruiser, they are lovely. Tonight I need to hit the weights, not done upper body for about 5 days and my legs are aching from all the riding this weekend. Weights tonight and maybe ABA gates tomorrow night. Still having problems with the headset coming loose, it will not squash down. I am sure it's the stem. I have tried every combination of parts I have, the old stuff works fine, but I want the new, shorter stem on and it won't lock down. I guess new forks with a built in headlock will be the next purchase.
Last week was pretty quiet at work, I really don't like it like that, nor the fact I am in the office on my own. Still tomorrow I am interviewing somebody for an Office Admin/Jnr Bus Dev role and Josh will be back shortly from secondment so things should liven up. It's difficult to be motivated working on your own, and I need to be constantly enthused to get the best from myself. Things are starting to pick up again now though, which is good. I have been at IGI a Yr this week, tempest fugit and all that, but for the most part it has been great, and I have to say I do work for a good bunch of people, that I respect and are respectful. That's no bad thing in the money grabbing society we live in.
down the hatch..
