Mission accomplished!

Its always happy on the home front when we are winning races. Tracey racked up a ton this weekend. Her legs are tired from stepping up to the top step on the podium all weekend. Now we are getting a little more focused on the track when we talk about racing. Since she is a big shot now and got her Cat 1 upgrade, the crits are more of an annoyance.

This weekend stats:
8:00 started working on bikes and packing the car
11:00 Raced 5 minutes for 4th place (I needed to get in the top 5 to qualify)
3:00 home to prep for dinner
4:00 drive to Morgan hill to look at cork flooring...now more confused then ever.
5:45 water the neighbors garden and pick some fruit and veggies with Tracey & Nicky (cute little Pucci lookin dress)
6:00 dinner started I fall off the little red wagon and share a fav beer from Belgium with the Queen of Proman
6:01 open first bottle of vino
7:00 call Hooptie to come over for dinner w/us-he accepts
8:00 dinner time Roasted pork studded with garlic and coated with lavender, corn, tomatoe salad, asparagus and roasted potatoes.
9:00 listen to Nick's stories about friends in the past who grew the kind, Hooptie was in his element.
10pm I say good night, T Ford manages to stay up until 11pm with Nick & Hooptie (now I know why he is on BPG, I wonder if they give free pot cards to the team as part of the package????)

5:00 Departure for Esparto
7:20 Arrival in parking lot of Esparto
