FLORIDA POLICE FIRE AND MILITARY GAMES

The games were much tougher this year than in the years past. The guys from Miami have really stepped up their game and everyone seems to be trying to peak for the the TT. Quite a few guys are working on getting their cat1 and 2 upgrades and doing the games and masters races at the same time. It is good to see USAC level competition coming from cops, firefighters and military guys.
I won the kilo by 1 second with a 1min3.4sec. time
the 10.3 mile TT by only 5 seconds with a time of 22 min 58 seconds, third was only 8 seconds back
the road race and crit were two different 3 man breaks that I went with and won out of.

While I was waiting...

I have been waiting 3 weeks for the insurance companies, contractors and FEMA to decide how they are going to dispose of my claim and help fix a house that is 60% destroyed. While waiting, I decided to build a fence. Outside has been the most pleasant place at my house to be, so I took my time and hand built the entire fence.

NEW TEAM UNIFORMS ARE IN!!!!

Adam and the guys at BH Bikes sent over the first ever ASSAULT SQUAD team uniform/ entry gear for the Metro VW Hit Squad. It was put to good use Wed morning.
--- Thanks Adam and BH Bikes!!!

Happy Birthday???? Not so much

I have spent since this early Monday morning chasing leaks in the roof.... until it all came down. The beachside of Daytona has gotten over 26 inches of rain since Monday and it is still coming.

Police Memorial week

While I was preparing for the criterium championships in FL and the following week races in Texas, several of the Daytona Beach Police Department cyclists were wrapping up the Police Unity Tour. Over 1000 cyclists in Law Enforcement rode 250 to 1200 miles to the Police Officer Memorial in Washington DC.

Florida state Crit championships... went well

Third place was crying in his Gatorade and decided not to show up. In most races that means you lose your prize money for being a sore loser.
