We'll be working tomorrow, weather is supposed to be good and we should really be able to make some essential progress toward track completion. Bring rakes, shovels ... and your bikes. If we get far enough we should be back to ridable by the end of the day.
Hartford Time Trial Report
Bryan Dickerson remains the track record holder at the Hartford practice track, and deservedly so. He built it, he maintains it, and helps organize the annual time trial put on by the City of Hartford parks department. My son Dane and I were stoked to be able to compete. Dane and Jason Leikam's daughter, Cassidy finished second and third in the 7 and under class. Nice going, you guys.
What else did I want to write about Hartford ... hmmm ... ah yes, pictures:
Cassidy Leikam (6) gets her crank on heading into the first turn.
Dane looking super determined as he rounds the last corner and gets ready to head for home.
Here's Bryan doing what Bryan does best (and everybody in 41-45 cruiser knows it) -- laying down the power.
Todd Zimmerman is a good friend, valuable volunteer, and stylish rider ... big tuck, high speed, major determination.
Generation Next - Payton Dickerson has speed and skills. My money was on him to strip his old man of the speed title ... but, no dice ... it was old age and treachery over youth and enthusiasm for, at least, one more year.
Your author, Mr. Turnbar ... what I lack in both style and speed I more than make up for in the ridiculous overuse of safety equipment. Yeah, I'm safe, and that's a good thing.
ABA Press Release:
This will go up here and remain the message for the balance of this week after tomorrow. Today, we posted the release to the ABABMX.com website announcing the open house for ABA members next Saturday. The track will be open from 10-1 for open practice and we'll have some demo racing laps going off between 1-3. Looking forward to seeing all my BMX friends there.
That's it for now ... keep riding.
