LA is Shaking...

What a way to start our stay in LA! We only got here Sunday night and pretty much next thing you know, we are in an earthquake. Interesting. I must say, we were a little dumbstruck at first, just looking at each other as no one of us had been in one before. It took us a couple of seconds to realize what was actually happening but by that time it was almost over. Fortunately, it didn’t do any damage to our host house. So we survived an earthquake.

Besides that, nothing much has happened here in LA so far but we raced in San Marcos last weekend. It was a 1.6 mile circuit with a decent climb in it…and a really stellar field. Healthnet, Jittery Joe’s, Successful Living, Toyota United… yep, they all send at least a rider out there. It was a really hard race and none of us made it into the final move that stuck. I finished 10th, second of the first chase group and Corey came in with the second chase. Unfortunately, Will and Phillip both got dropped. Peter is still healing up. He’s getting better and is out riding but last weekend was too early to get back in a race. Hopefully he’ll be good to go for nationals.

For me it is already nearly time to say good buy to California as I will be flying out to Chicago this Friday for Elk Grove. Leo is coming too, so we should have some fun. I’ll keep you posted.
