So Frankie Andreu is guest directing Proman and Hernandez is guest directing Vanderkitten for national level events, Philadelphia... Oklahoma...
I was thinking I could guest direct Team Oakland at the Dash for Cash. I'm waiting for the invite....

Congratulations to John and Juliette!
Yep, Julian Thomas Wilk is fast like his dad I guess. Just had to be born. He's a little early at 32 weeks, 4 lbs 5 oz, and I think John said 17 inches.
But both Julian and Juliette (and John) are fine sounds like, though Julian will be hangin' in the 'cubator for a little while! The whole 'J' motif is pretty cutesy...
Happened this morning. Congratulations guys.

Trippy race day: June 21st
Not only is AVC going on at Hellyer this weekend, the new Napa Crit has a points race format only for the 35+ race?? Interesting, but who came up with that? Is it in honor of AVC? Why not do it for p1/2 while they're at it?
I'm hoping to race Napa at 2 pm (maybe even p1/2 at 4 pm), then jet down to Hellyer for the 6 pm track session. Any bets on whether this can be done? The Masters Points race on the track isn't until late in the session, so I'm betting it can be!

Track/Sacramento/Memorial Day Racing
Never posted on the overall weekend of racing (tho you can see race reports at the Sierra Pacific blog).
The brave soul could have raced four venues this past Memorial Day weekend (I'm buying beer for anyone that can add Comments saying they did this).
It was:
-Hellyer Friday Night for the Hernando show.
-Golden State's New (sometimes) course Saturday
-Mt Hamilton Logistical Nightmare Sunday
-A wind-less Memorial Day Crit on Monday
1) Hellyer Highlights for Friday night? I was embarrased to be booted out of the 3/4 Miss n Out. The week before they were letting in all 40+ I think, so I assumed I could race. No, I couldn't. I'm starting to like the Miss n Out and was able to top five again in P1/2. Gio was playing the 'devil' and sniping the last rider the whole race! When my time came, I obliged.
The mystery pts race? Eh, it was alright. If you guessed the bells correctly it was good. I didn't. Celebrity guest bell ringers?? Mark Patten?? He didn't even wear his skinsuit.
Tired of getting schooled by Dan Smith in the 40+ Scratch race. He's won both in the series.
2) Golden State Great new 180 turn. Which made it especially irritating when they removed it in the middle of the 5's race! Made the negative Masters even more negative.
Need to learn techniques when being taken to the curb (plow on through? Protest? I've heard suggestions of initiating fist fights... not my style).
Nice work Brian J of TO for winning the 4's. He'll be a very good addition to the 3's. He was in our Port break of four last night and I have a feeling he'll be more than holding his own in the new field.
3) Mt Ham Didn't do it. Jesse Friese crashed and I hope he's doing well. Francesca did her first p1/2/3 race and it sounded like tons of fun.
Some Davis guy rides solo away from 3 Giant, Cozza, and Wohlberg. Gotta love that.
4) Morgan Hills Crit Always like this race... when there is more wind! There was very little wind which meant there not a break to be had all day (someone correct me if I missed one). 35+ race was actually pretty fun: the boys in black and blue did really well. Lot of firepower in p1/2 but came down to a bunch sprint as well.
Never seem Tim G get angry before. Thought I was going to have to break up a fist fight in the reg line. Something about cutting in line, drug allegations...
Mel gets another point. Oh yeah... Toby got his Cat 3 upgrade too! We'll see him Saturday in the 35+ race. Should be fun.
Chance to do this all again this weekend: Another Friday Night Track, Dash for Less Cash, then Dunlap TT!

thin red line
The line between nature and city was blurred last night as a racoon
continually found its way into my house to eat.... cereal. I'm
surprised he didn't use milk.

Prom pics huh? I'll go look for some pics to post. Suffice to say
everyone looked great. As far as I can tell no one drank or anything.
