That’s how long it has been since I have ridden my Mountain bike. I was getting ready to go on a ride when my mom said what about a going on a MTB ride. I thought that would be a good idea. I went to ride some easy trails. I still have it, not to smooth but that is easy to take care of.

RYANMy brother Ryan has been playing soccer since he was 4 and has played in the highest levels that can be played for his age.  Last night he had his senior year banquet for his High School ElModena. As a senior he was voted midfielder MVP and was given yet another stripe for his fourth year on varsity. He also made first team all league for the century league. He is now playing with some colleges and figuring out where he would like to go. He was informed the other night that he will be spending seventeen days in Europe to play with his club team in multiple tournaments, such as the Umbro International, and Arsenal invitational. Way to go Ryan!!

For all of you that are that asking about where you can get kits, I will find out.  TILL LATER

The crit was today and fast. All the big teams are here. At the start I and most of the team was at the back. In the first ten laps I was in the same spot where I started, as it was hard for me to move up. With about 20 or so laps to go my back tightened up I have never had that happened. I was not able to ride my bike right and I was moving to the back. I poled myself out, when I got off my bike I could not stand up strait it sucked. I got it worked out and it’s a lot better. For the rest of the team 4 went down they are ok just scraped up a little. ROAD RACE TOMORROW till LATER

The road race was hard the heat the head wind was strong and the tail wind was to. Up the hill in the first lap we were moving. On the 3rd lap I did not get a feed and at the long head wind part of the race I started to cramp up and fell out of the field so I did the last two laps on my own.

Today the team road 12 miles to the crit it was overcast that made it feel nice out. The crit was 70 minutes long I sat in for the first 20 minutes. Rock Racing was everywhere, we were in the pack off the front the race was going well. I was feeling good for the first time all week with six laps to go we all moved to the front. There was a black and white train, I was on Rahsaans wheel sweeping, I was having fun bumping around with guys that were trying to sit on the line.  With 3 to go successful living came up the left side and as fast as they came they were gone. Going in to the last lap we were still going strong. Going into last turn I was still on Rahsaans wheel the sprint was long like 250 meters a BMC rider started to move up the left side. Kayle and Rahsaans where right in front of me I hit the pedals and accelerated again beating him to the line ROCK RACING went 1 2 3 Rahsaans with the win Kayle in second and me in third. Guys great work this weekend!!!. JACK BLACK OUT lol 1 2 3 BABY 123

It’s days like today, that make me realize why I love to ride my bike. The temperature was perfectly “sunny”, and it was so clear, I could see for miles. On my ride today, I met up with Rudy and got a new front wheel, since I broke a spoke yesterday! Then, we met up with Kayle and went up the PCH. It was absolutely beautiful! Later in the day, Jennie came to visit me and brought along her beach cruisers! We had a lot of fun riding around. In the video jen and I are riding around after dinner………….check it out!

Yesterday was a lot of fun. My friend David and I walked around Venice beach. There are a lot of crazy people down there that made this a lot of fun. Met some rapper and went to a freak show. When we got back to the apartment I was locked out. I got up to the 8th floor and had to walk up to the 15th.  With my camera, I videoed some of the day. Its funny most of the time. This will fill in the rest of the day .I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE INTERNET THE LAST FEW DAYS -SORRY!

All I have to say is I got passed by T mobile and Rabobank today on my ride. Walked on up and down Main Street there are a lot of places to eat and shop oh fun. I just got back from another walk around Main Street and there was a group of girls standing by a liquor store and asked me to get them a pack of cigarettes I ask their age and they said they were 17 I said that its bad for you and they said well if you don’t do it some one else will buy them and I said im not going to be that guy the guy that will buy you poison and I walked away, that felt good to tell them, that they might not stop and I doubt that they will. Here is a Rock & Republic Fashion Show. Till later
