My First Plaque

Last weekend 7/10/2011 was race weekend up in Berkshire NY. The ride up was a pleasant experience. Matt was in his truck and Dan and me were in our pick-up. We left around Noonish and headed up with no sense of urgency, We made a couple pit stops just to stretch and to get a cup of coffee. My type of traveling no hurries no worries.




Rod and Joe Lasko met us up there and we had a BBQ that Dan cooked. That boy can cook a steak. Then we just hung out drank a couple of cold ones and laughed for a few hours.

Check out how happy I am getting my plaque :)

Sunday was race day and it was a challenging course the NEOC set up for us. We all made it out with out any injuries or major breakdowns. Everyone did very well you can check  here for the numbers.  The high lite of the trip was I finally broke into the top ten and received a plaque. I have been 11th twice and have been becoming the butt of all plaque jokes. Well with that monkey off my back I can’t wait for the next race in Sept.
