first off, last wednesday I signed Pete up for open mike night at the lark tavern. suprised yet composed, he went on to perform at roughly 1:30 am. At this point I had been in or near the bar from roughly 2pm when my last final of the semester ended until then. each performer got two songs. Here's what I remember: Pete started to sing, then stopped, then apologized and said this was the first time he had used a microphone. Then he sang half of one of the most fantastic songs ever, Jeruselum by Dan Bern. Google/itunes it now. He stopped halfway through, anfd everyone clapped. Then he sang the second half. Everyone clapped again. Then a large man made Pete get off the stage. amazing.

we pedaled bikes at some point too. rock on.

Here are the results of TT Saturday. The conditions were not ideal because of the wind:

May 12, 2007
3 laps of the State Office Campus
Strong breeze, clear, 62-65 degrees

Coach Chris parked the truck at the start/finish and played tunes to take our minds off the lactic acid haze.

Nice job by all. I saw Pete finish and he was moving pretty fast. Mackenzie and Curtis were putting in some really good efforts as well.

Following the TT, Chris setup a crit course with some cones in the lot we ride through during cross practice. After several laps of hard riding we were all ready to call it a day. The crit practice was really sweet (high quality workout and good skills training) and we plan to do that again in the future.

Sunday we rolled out around 8:45 from lot H to find some hills. Steve took us on a nice route of about 50 miles with plenty of climbing. The weather was perfect and the hills were tough.

I want one.

Ok, this may be the best song of all time and a video to boot. Pete and Eric played the song for me the other day at the Willett. It's great for time trialing. Enjoy and laugh your as_ off.

Here is a quote from Schillinger after watching it, "we should stop racing bikes and just work on being as sweet as that video was"
