Oilers Win!

And I got to watch it on TV. Hemsky scored his first goal in ages, and we demolished the hometown Kings 4 nil. Hats off boys, job well done. Can't wait 'till the playoffs.

In the cycling world: I feel much better now. Went out to Rosebowl and went nuts at every opportunity. Came late (work...), that always sucks, and I feel bad even contesting the sprint if i'm a few laps late, but ah well. It was my first 'bowl in about two weeks. It was nice to see some random Toyota United guy there, and scores of local fast folk. I was alone off the front for a couple minutes at one point, and when I got caught I pulled the classic Menzies-style "counter-attack your own move[*]" move. Didn't work of course (the toyota guy shut it down), but it's good for the legs, they say. They don't, but it is. Somehow. Near the end, some guy crashed in all the madness on the downhill side. Bummer. These things happen. It's open, free, and sometimes fast training. There are risks. We know this. So in light of the crash, there wasn't a sprint. I was pretty spent anyway, no telling how the kick would've been.

I get paid tomorrow and a digital camera purchase is imminent. So i'm gonna dull the blog up prior with photo-less entries like this one to make it that much more exciting when the camera arrives. Racing this weekend......Amgen Crit Saturday, and officially my final race as a cat2 on Sunday at garrett lemire GP. Big money in both, and the XL competition that come when large chunks of cash are on the table. Can't wait. Allright, i'm done. Looking forward to sleeping so that I can wake up and eat everything in sight. 'Night.

[*] So Brent was off the front during the entire crit in stage 3 of SDSR, along with Karl Menzies and Gord Fraser. They were gone from the first lap, full blast, real fast. So after 90 minutes, they were caught on the last lap, presumably completely wasted. After the race Brent says Menzies "counter" attacked his own move as soon as the trio was caught...didn't stick of course, but CMMMMMON!!!!!!! The guy still ended up 6th. It'll be nice to mix it up with him over the weekend...

Feist!
