Tons Happening and no time to write

This is always a very busy time of year so there is a lot to catch up on:

We are totally jazzed that Tristan Cowie WON collegiate xc and st! Huge congrats, man. Lots of stars and stripes in the south this year. This couldn't have happened to a cooler guy.


Gainesville 6 hour race was a good time. Shey and the boys did a three man team and I did solo-kind-a. It was a fun and fast course. No elevation change or technical stuff...which was awesome for fall fun. The leaves were changing and it was cool, but not cold. Couldn't ask for better.






We signed up in hopes of seeing Hodge after his accident, but it rained during the week and the wet grass was a bit scary, so he didn't stay long and we missed him. Hope to catch him soon.



Norma and Johnny rocked the house, as usual.





Jansen picked up some bamboo to plant. That was hilarious! Who knew bamboo was so freakin' hard to dig up?!?




Everett's Jack-o-lantern for 2008.




Everett was the traditional scare crow. This is his third year and we thoroughly enjoy watching all the reactions he gets. The funniest were the two older men who were totally creeped out and couldn't stop staring. Good times! Especially since he sticks a straw through the burlap mask to drink his iced coffee!







Everett has been blacksmithing.



The boys are making me a scythe for the backyard. They have spent a ton of time sharpening this thing. Jansen created the handle.

It's kit ordering time for our teams. I got the Sugoi stuff to PTB for Sorella try-ons. Getting the wrinkles ironed out, then we'll be ready to order. Hope to be done by Christmas. FFCC - working on the kits - the guys are going with different colors this next year.

Sorella put on the Conyers Cyclocross race this weekend. We had great volunteers and the racers had a good time. The drum-line that came out from our local high school was awesome. Lot's of costumes and baked goodies. We definitely need to improve, but we are learning from our mistakes.

Shey raced SS and A's, Everett raced C's and Juniors and Jansen raced B's. They all were strong today, but course set-up always shows up the next day and they were wiped in the end.
