keepin it consistent

If you see any pigs flying, that could be attributed to me not racing this weekend. Saturdays shin dig in CT was a no go as I opted to stay home and get a little training in for a change. Sunday met up with JC (NERD) and Chris Hong (Harvard) for a nice fall 100k. JC started here with me and we met up with Chris at the Starbucks down by Wells Ave. The weather held up beautifully and it was a nice change from racing around soccer fields all weekend. the NERD (North East Regional Development) team is all coming together nicely. The final roster is a couple days from being finalized with two spots still to decide on. The team took another step forward this weekend when we took our third nationals win of the year. Tim Halliday won the B men STXC at the Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships this weekend in Angle Fire, NM to go along with my own Marathon National Championship and Cross Country National Series Championship! Tim is pretty much the man and it's about time all his training paid off with a much deserved W. I don't know if it was quite as good as the Viking Biking State Championship he won back in 04' though, you'll have to let him pick. The rest of the team is really shaping up to be the dream team of North East mountain biking. As it stands today, the team can account for two national champions, a national series champion, three regional champions, and a state champion from 2006! I like to think I've earned the right to brag after so many months of work trying to get this team together and ready for 2007. The web-site will be up and running soon and you'll be able to find out everything NERD at http://www.nerdcycling.com/.
