Interbike and all that follows...

Interbike this week. So stoked! A full compliment of Street Kings are making the trek to the city of sin for a few days R&R and all the cycling stuff you can handle. This weekend marked the first crit for STreetKing Freshman Isaac. He scored a podium his first run at it with a strong 3rd place finish. I didnt race but pitted for him and cheered him on when i saw the pain overtake him about half way through the race. Watching bike racing always has the same affect on me as it did this weekend. I go home and, "dream the impossible dream" of winning a crit in grand fashion. In my dream i am always about 5th or 6th wheel as the bell lap is called. Turn one, no change, Turn two, no change, turn three, i make my move. Now third wheel into the final turn, turn four. Now out of the saddle and in the drops. No more gears to click through. Its two bikes at the finish. I bike throw for good measure and get the win by the thickness of a tire. It hasnt happened yet, but who is to say it wont? I have been getting serious about training as of late and am hoping to fire at some events along with the other Street Kings at the line for 2009. I wanted to be able to tell you that in my dream i am on a Sweet Vintage Merckx but i can never muster that much creativity while i am asleep.
