the wind hates me

well, its been quite a while. school has been keeping me busy with all kinds of things to do. i have found time to ride though. the beginning of the week i did cross training with sean and charlie. we planned out a course on campus and are trying to get permission to host a race here. the lady we talked to gave positive feedback, she just was not the one who could say yes or no. hopefully we will get it approved. on wednesday i was going to ride my road bike, but the spoke was broke last week the day before the century on those really nice wheels (brandon screwed up). the wheels lasted through the ride, on wednesday i was starting from a stop light and that put to much pressure on the wheel and the spoke broke. ben was not happy about it. so then i rode cross on my mnt bike again. thursday afternoon i went over to milltown, got the wheel fixed, found out my mnt bike wheel (rim) is finished. so ordered a new on of those, i also ordered a cross bike. should be here next week early! horray! its a redline conquest pro.
but about the wind. its been on average this week 20 mph gusting to 30. its just insane. makes biking hard. and the wind just wont go away.

next weekend is the first cross race in st. cloud. there is also a collegiate mtb race there on saturday, but i have not decided if i am going to do that one yet.
