Via the Pony Shop.  It looks like there might be a few races I can hit up between my out of town weekends.  If I did the five races in the ChiCrossCup that are not on other UCI weekends, that would make for 24 races in 13 weeks.  Sounds like just a little too much, but we will see how things go.  The race in DeKalb in October is supposed to be pretty sweet, I might have a hand in helping design that course. I see Northbrook on there and have heard that the velodrome might be part of that equation.  The state championships are the same day I will be racing the best in Portland for the final round of USGP, so obviously I will not be around to contest that, next year, maybe.  So, that is twelve races in Illinois, eleven races going on in Wisconsin and a UCI weekend thrown in for good measure for anyone not wanting to drive more than two hours to race.  I can almost smell the autumn leaves.

I got another email from Paul.  The team is finalizing the kit order, Voler skinsuits are awesome!  And I should have the majority of my bikes by the middle of the month as well!  Things are working themselves out and this has become better than I would have ever imagined.  I can not wait, thank you Paul for this great opportunity.  Power tested yesterday and made another 5% increase on my threshold wattage.  The legs are coming around.
