Off to Fargo at 9am. Pick up Jake, drop of Cuckoo clock to get fixed (8 weeks, yes!), drop off the Fuel at Club D, few other errands and on the way to MPLS and Hwoods. Enough time to get set up and head over to the Thur night action at Buck. I could feel it in my legs I had been in the car for 6+ hours but after a lap I started to come around. A bad start getting hung in traffic and didn't even get to ride with the southern boys for a few moments. Dang. But the last lap was super fun, busting out with Sam O and putting the gap on Garrot and Luke. Jake said his bike worked great and loves it. We will have to make a few adjustments of course but everything looks good. He is gonna notice it on the climbs. Straight drive home and it seemed like nothing. The traffic on 494 puts me over the edge. After that, it goes by super fast.
No racing at Steeple. Jake is going with Zigs and Giff. Got one more wedding before camp rolls in. I'll be racing my Richwood and Loppet loop against myself. BMX racing starts on Tues. Jon is set to go. I'll give it a shot in the cruiser moto. .

No problems at all. He took it out last night on the trail here and it flowed nicely in the track and seems to be working great. Will be interesting to see how tomorrow goes.. RE: ride. There is like a month gap between the two Red Wing races so maybe the 23rd or 29th weekend (July). We could meet here and than take a pickup or two with all the bikes to Jonell's parents cabin. Let me know if those dates work and I can arrange it on my end and start getting the word out. I'm gonna test ride it again maybe next weekend. Good luck tomorrow. I'll miss grinding out that 3/4 mile climb with ya all. Looks like fun!
