Big Ring Time

Looking at this shot from 2 years ago in Wausau makes me kringe a little.....ok, a lot!  This was the race that made the pinched nerve reach it's worst point, or most painful point!  I crashed a couple of times on the rock gardens and knew for sure something was not right!  You can see in the picture I am trying to loosen up the neck before The Don says GOOOOOOO!

After two years I still get stiff and minor pain from time to time, I have be very conscious of it when riding and make myself stretch it out even when riding.....I am getting pumped to ride Wausau, great course and hopefully some good camping if the weather allows.....and it will :)

Girls are out of school for the summer and now we begin the basketball camps and strength classes, have to make those big gains in the off-season.....like I tell Kennedy, the Gold Balls are not won on the court in Madison.....they are won during the summer in the driveway and at open gyms and camps!  Ellie is loving softball and doing pretty good for her first season, she even got to play Dad's favorite position last night....catcher!
