includes a bike racer in it. Sorry! It’s all I’ve got. That’s my T. taken today at his bike race up near Santa Fe. I can’t remember if I’ve ever mentioned that he races on the blog? Well he does! He placed second today in the Pro, 1, 2, race and the only guy to beat him was this guy, some young Pro from Arizona.
The coolest thing is that T. is able to be in the lead of the New Mexico Road Racing series at age 40 with a full time job, a wife and two kids. I like to say, “Not bad for an old dude huh!?” Most of the guys who beat him are at at least 10 years younger than he is. The kids and I are so damn proud of him and we love going to watch him race. Although, our joke is that if he doesn’t win, we don’t come back to watch him…..
I’ve become friends with Tom, who runs the New Mexico Cycling Website and I’ve promised to take pictures at the races I attend to get shots for the website. My second picture is up on the website right now from a race 2 weeks ago. Pretty cool huh!? I dunno, I think it is! If you want to see the other shots I took today and at the other race I created a separate Flickr account for them. At some point I’ll get the proper zoom lens for action shots and then I’ll really get some great ones.
Hope you are having a great weekend. And this is brought to you by another post that has nothing to do with knitting! Whoo hoo!
