Bikes at Blackhawk the first weekend in Aprii - Pedal bikes, I mean!  Hopefully Stumpy and the Chocolay Ace crew from Marquette will be there.  They're scheduled to be in Sheboygan the day before for a race. 

I know Edgar will be right there cheering them on!!!

Tire budget is way better, equipment, not so much.  Time investment - way higher. 

Stumpy's spring training camp starts today with a century a day Friday, Saturday and Sunday in 30 degree weather if it warms up coming of the nasty flu from last week.  They'll see if all those 5 am spin sessions were worth it, I guess.   

I wish I could be there!  Maybe if the RV wasn't buried in 3 feet of snow. Ugh.

I was saying to Cindy that I was wondering if you all might come down!  Many thumbs up.

Well....It was a nice day Sunday!  ~70 degrees and sun...Bicycles were interesting, but without an engine, they lack a certain something...I timed a lap of one race and it was about 4 minutes around BHF's 1.95mile's.  Some pics for those who care to look

PS.  I've never heard such trash talking at the track before!  Now thats funny!

Lap times, I want lap times!

To hell with the lap times!

I want more legs like that in picture 5.
They might be able to crush me but oh the fun.

Like I said, about 4 min lap times...And the men out numbered the women about 20 to 1 :(

Well. All the rubber the bikes laid down is washing off as we speak. It's been raining non stop.

Were you out there Jan?  I saw a blue Kawasaki just like yours?

The pics were cool!

Maybe we'll make it next year if they do it again...I hope so!  Stumpy is out for a while.  He had surgery Friday in Eau Claire.  Doc says 6 weeks but we'll see.  The saddle might be a little tricky! 

Let's just say that Stumpy could hear Edgar in his ear saying, I told you bicycles were bad.

Yes, you cut the peace and you didn't say hi....And I think you were breaking laws on the country roads surrounding the track!  :) haha
