London Calling...

Well monsoon season is finally over in the UK and the trails are starting to dry out. Good timing as I just was able to pick up the new Hei Hei while in the states a few weeks back and starting to get some races in over here in Europe. The bike is great! I just need to get back in race shape. Finished 9th in last weeks Beastway race in the Vet class. Beastway is a weekly racing series in the London area that runs for a few months. Pretty nice because it runs on Wednesday night and does not interfere with the bigger weekend races. So I'll be at Beastway again this week and then on to the Bristol Bikefest a couple hours away near the border with Wales on Saturday. Supposed to be a great course and a nice weekend long event with camping, DJ, live band etc.. Looks like close to 700 people entered for the Saturday 12 hour race (teams, pairs and solo) that I'm taking part in. I'll be in my Kona colors but riding with a team from the London Phoenix Cycling Club. A great group of people that I ran into over here with 2 competitive male and 1 female team in the event.
