Don your finest riding garb, your team kit, grab your bike and let's roll! We'll head out at 9:00 from Twin Lakes Park on 59th St. just west of Cass Avenue ... http://www.project5racing.com/index.php/?p=94 I expected a day filled with rain, thunder, and lightning - but no, blue skies, heat, and humidity were piled on! Great day for racing. The W3/4's race had almost 50 racers on the start line - what a terrific showing! Some of the top talent from Wisconsin was down as ... http://www.project5racing.com/index.php/?p=93 What a great week-end for P5! Podiums, State Championship Jerseys, IL Cup Series Winners - oh, and a new teammate! Before a recap of the events, with the significant achievements this week-end, a brief reminder of what P5 represents seems appropriate: The Project 5 moniker was chosen for two reasons. In one respect the ... http://www.project5racing.com/index.php/?p=92 Nemesis = something that a person cannot conquer. Evanston is my nemasis - ok, maybe that is a bit extreme, but it feels right after today's race. The turnout for the W3/4 race was a bit smaller than I had anticipated. Except for the Alberto's army (luv ya girls!), and ... http://www.project5racing.com/index.php/?p=91 Thanks to all the racers that joined us in Des Plaines.

Also, your generosity ... http://www.project5racing.com/index.php/?p=90 A few Project 5 Racers headed south for the Peoria Classic, the IL State Crit Championships - John, Tim, Shawn, Q, Ginger, and myself.

What a terrific party setting! Between Cafe Hollander on the right and Via and Original Pancake House on the left, great food and drink was pentiful. Another gorgeous day after a night of storms. 35 women were at the line today each ... http://www.project5racing.com/index.php/?p=88 The shortest - and flattest - course of the series was sure to be fast. So fast, that the town put a copper-speed-reader up so we could see just how fast we were going. Jerel and I decided to dare the starter's whistle and make a final potty break which ... http://www.project5racing.com/index.php/?p=86 Well kids, I am in a much better place when compared to last year, but man do I have a long way to go. Here is an update of the past two days... Waterloo: Circuit race in a cute little town. On the backside a longer hill with ... http://www.project5racing.com/index.php/?p=87 A gorgeous day in Sheboygan after a night filled with thunderstorms and tornadoes. So thankful we did not have to camp last night. Cool coffee shop hangout last night and great breakfast at a mom/pop joint - ahh, Wisconsin.
