exciting developements

for those who like to read early i figured id get the news out. first and i guess could be considered most important is dad is coming in may.

anyone remember that calander i was talking about the other day, how it had all the races in the area. well apparently i did not read it very well cause this morning i got bored and really studied it. i discovered, to my surprise and delight, that there are a couple of races within 100km in the next few weeks. the first ones i found were not accessable with a train, and i cant find contact info on them. then i found a race in Singen (35 km) away on monday. and being that i have no class monday this is good. i emailed the organizer to see if it was too late, have not heard back yet. i kept reading. next weekend there is one in Geislingen (70 km). then the next weekend Konstanz and i could just keep going...wahooo! i went and talked to the shop guy to see if he knew if i could race he said Geislingen for sure and probably Konstanz too. (i did not have the info about monday yet).
I got back to my room emailed the bike clubs and then a few minutes later i got an email from the club in Konstanz which i have been trying to find since my arrival. it was just a little bit about the club and who the guy was and all. i emailed back a few questions then got another email that basically said (translated) "i am very glad you are interested in the club. You can register for a racing liscense at this certain shop. I dont know who is riding today because the weather is so bad. We race in baden-wurt. and Rhein-land. area and we have a van to transport. the first people to register for the race get a place in the van, but many drive themselves. transportation to the races is no problem. on 03.05 we are having a team presentation, i suggest you come to it and we can talk."


part 2
racing this weekend is not going to happen. you have to have a license to race and you cant buy just a day one like at home. in fact you cant even buy one, you have to register through a team kinda thing. i went to do that today, but the guy i need to talk to was not in his shop (not a bike shop like i had been looking for, but a stamp shop). so i will be talking to him as soon as possible.
