Did somebody just make a new sexy?

Windmills, Foampits, Jetlag and lack of motivation.

Being wide awake at 5:30am on weekends is not fun, I blame this on jetlag.
Now that i'm back in the US I have such mixed emotions, each time I go back to the U.K. I am reminded of what I really love and what I can leave behind. There are so many British attributes of the culture that I dearly love. But the freedom and public cycle paths of America still win.
My family is well and my gran has no clue who i am - she has alzheimers, but she is well.

Really , I will get my UK photographs sorted and posted to flickr.... soon, soon.

Anyway onto something totally different. This weekend was a big cyclocross deal. The Single Speed Cyclcocross World Championships were held about 10miles from my house. On the was a 20ft windmill with rotating arms and a well wicked foam bath. I did not race this weekend, apparently I have a problem with motivation.

The foam pit - people rode through this mess.

The windmill about to chop some bloke.

UCI Track World Cup - Manchester UK

After Sunday the Brits had won 15 out of 18 events! Taking away
A sliding finish - Mens A Match Sprint, bars got tide up, Jason Kenny (Brit) slid over the line to take Gold.

Amazing- Manchester Velodrome & training center - pure track luxury for an indoor velodrome. (wood, 40 degrees). TT's, Match Sprints, Keirins, Madisons and Points Races... f'in amazing. Needless to say the Brits won 6 Golds on the Saturday I was there and a ton on Sunday as well- stellar.
UCI Track coverage was on national TV today - gotta love the Brits - Track racing on TV!

As if that was not enough - A Brit becomes F1 world Champion!


Lewis Hamilton became the youngest world champion in Formula One history by the skin of his teeth after a nail-biting Brazilian Grand Prix.
