Cross Season Approacheth

Well things on the posting front have been quiet, but I've been very busy. It's been a bit wet of recent, but the weather for the next week or so look good!
A few new changes in life, and the garage!
Kelly and I got married a bit over a week ago now, should have some pictures up soon. Ceremonies, happened out east, and even included a trip to the velodrome in Dieppe the day before.
We had a little prenup race, flying start 3 laps vs. 4 (250m track, I do 1000m, to her 750) Ended up being an entertaining one, both of us were severly hung over after the previous night's bachelor/bachelorette parties, but she would in turn win by a bit less than 30m!
Darren and I got in a couple of match sprints, I played the evil friend and destroyed him on the first one, then gave a bit more of a fighting chance on the second, where I narrowly took him at the line, while unclipping, nearly crashing, and potentially injuring myself before the big day! nice one!!
As for the Garage part, we've said good bye to the Opus cross bike, and a brand new Kuota Kross is in the process of being built for the upcomming season, should be a nice one! pics to come soon!
One more big road race for me, Quebec Provincials this weekend, then time off to get ready for 'cross!!
ciao
