Gustav's Damage

Due to Gustav our roof developed quite a nice new water feature inside our apartment.  The only problem with this is we needed the pots used to collect the water for cooking.  Luckily there was another empty apartment in our complex just in a separate building.  So the last few weeks with the help of the bob trailer has gone to moving.

We also purchased Sarah a new bike that was paid for with a little off the clock work at the shop.  We took it around campus last night for a ride.

Petra Davis - Bear Attack

I was in a 24 hour race in Alaska that was stopped due to an grizzly bear attack on one of the racers.  This is an interview just done with her about the attack.  Im glad to see she is going to keep riding.

Well it hasn't been much of a labor day weekend for me as Hurricane Gustav has put a damper on everything.  I was tempted to head on up to Arkansas for some riding  but with Sarah not having a job and just spending 3 days in my truck a week ago I just felt like staying put.  Sarah wanted to evacuate as it was originally predicted to be a category 5 hurricane and I wanted to go because of the thought of being without power for a few days would be unbearable.  We waited it out though and only had brief flickers in power and lost our cable/internet for half a day.

I did however get a road ride in Saturday with the race team for a fast ride.  Its good to be riding in a group again I missed the speed of those rides and had a little trouble keeping up when they ramped up the speed to 28 mph.  The Sunday ride was not happening due to the hurricane so today I decided to get on the trainer and do a Spinerval DVD.  The iso squats were killing me at the end and I had problems finishing the last set.  Now I just have to get back into school mode and start doing my homework.
