ABOUT THE SERIES:
Races will be held every Thursday at Castlewood State Park with the start/finish line being in the field by the horse turnaround. It’s a great way to stay in shape while escaping the torrid heat of a typical summer afternoon. Races will be geared towards all levels.

In case any of you missed Peat's race report for the Brommelsiek park race( last comment on this post ), here is a link to the results and a pic.  5th place finish in the marathon class - Nice work, Peat.

Race to the Dome

I'm sure pretty much everyone knows about this already, but I figured it'd be good to throw it out there.

Race to the Dome

See you there.

Binder Baby!

This Sunday (June 27th) Les and I are going out to do a little more weed eating at Binder. As always we could use a little help. Meet us at the bait shop at 5:00. You bring a weed eater, I'll bring the beer.

Drool....

Makes me want to get the cross bike out on the trails.  We should do a "non-race" with cross bikes at Binder.

Tuesday Night Group Rides.

So do we still do these things?  Should be dry...

Mavic Ksyrium Elite for sale

UPDATE!!!!!

FOR SALE:

Brand new, never used MAVIC KSYRIUM ELITE WHEELSET

These were taken off a 2010 Tarmac Pro and have never seen pavement.  I am selling for a friend who is asking $525 for the wheelset only or $600 for the wheelset and brand new tires.  Or he would entertain a very good offer.  Contact him at flyboy294@hotmail.com

So...what's the next race?

Well, the big race is done, and everyone should be somewhat recovered by now.  I've had a couple people ask me when my next race was and I didn't have a definite answer.  There are several races listed on the Team Red Wheel calendar.

Dirty Kanza photos

Here are a few pics from Dirty Kanza.  I didn't get many during the race because I was afraid the sun would melt my camera.  Congrats to all that started. I think we can now safely say that "EPIC" has been defined.  Can't wait for next year!

 

 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

DK REPORT

This is not really a report, but a thankyou to the rest of TRW for sticking to the pre race plan of holding back and not pushing too hard in order to all Stoney to crush this field.  I know it takes a real sense of teamwork to bring this together, it's just another sign of how tight this TEAM is.  Stoney took this race to the house and secured 2nd place in the SS div.
