Omaha Corporate Cycling Challenge on Sunday, August 15 @ 730 AM

Hey Veloers,

I'll be gone to montanas in Colorado for next two weeks. Taking my bike, but of course! Plan on billy-goating every road pass I can find. Need to get in shape after suffering flogging on Surfside Hills during Worlds. Of course, getting drilled by the fastest dudes in Nebraska isn't too demeaning. It's not like your getting popped by some fat old zeppelins like me.

Anyway, I've sent out junior Tigger email to our six young'uns. Saying we are getting together for Omaha Corporate Cycling Challenge on Aug. 15. Meeting on west side of start area at 730 AM, on the grass, wearing the coveted orange/blue jerseys. Team pix planned for all who show, so come on down. We'll do the 42 m Ft. Calhoun loop.

Afterwards, the juniors and I will hit either Zio's in the Old Market, or if it is too busy, rendezvousing at Mama's Pizza on Saddle Creek a couple blox north of Dodge, next to Blockbuster.

You senior racers can ride at your own pace, but you'd better be watching over your shoulder. These juniors are FAST!!

See ya then! El Guapo

RAGBRAI 2010 Junior Velo Ride Report

Simone leading the velo wolf pack down the left lane at RAGBRAI

Averaging 20mph, Simone leads the pack past all the sweathogs and beerbellied old men. Leaving them in the dust she could be Alberto Contador's daughter; sharing the same talent and speed he has. After pit-stops at turkey tom's and hard work I spent the rest of the day with my bestfriend Maddie at Storm Lake Water Park. As I shot out of numerous slides I was finally starting to feel my sore legs. But pain is my friend and has no effect on me what-so-ever. That's right I'm daddy's little girl. The next day we continued our 20mph pace on the miles of flat highway. I have to admit that passing people like they're standing still brings a smile to my face. But so did the finish as I coasted into the final town. It was a fun trip and I don't think I would have wanted to do it without my friend Maddie. I can't wait for next year!

RAGBRAI bound

Hey there,

Simone and I are getting ready to do the 1st two days of RAGBRAI. We plan on driving up on Saturday PM with brother Joe and his crew, scout out some yard to camp in. Then hit the exposition. Long range forecast looks good. Anybody else coming out to play?

We also hope to have Maddie and Danny (our newest junior racer!!) tagging along. Maybe junior Veloer Zach Lau will surface too. Bring your Tigger gear to wear for team support and high visibility.
