News Flash, and an appology

OK, OK, I know, I didn't post anything last night. I'm sorry. As I'm sure you assumed, I was at the Malta Drive-In Theater with Becky. Sometimes the blog just can't be the top priority. In case you're wondering, we saw a double feature for $8 each. We saw "Hancock," with Will Smith, and Adam Sandler in "Don't Mess With the Zohan." I thought both were hillarious.

In any event, here's the big news flash: Ahead of tomorrow's National Mountain Bike Series race at Windham Mountain, Velo News has published a race preview by yours truly! You can read it here. I'm no expert on professional mountain biking, but the editors at Velo News sure know how to make it look like I do!

Tomorrow morning I'll be driving down to Windham to cover the two-day event, camping out overnight tomorrow, and driving back home sometime on Sunday. This is my first real assignment from Velo News, and I'm very excited for it, and I won't let my editors at Velo news down, I promise!

While I'm down in the Catskills, I'm going to sneak out for a ride early on Sunday with Jesse, of the Bell Lap blog, and will hopefully get a chance to sample some of the local fair he keeps telling me about.

And now, since I was remiss last night, here is the weekly top and bottom lists (but it's late, so I'm not doing any hyperlinks):

Tops from the week:
1) Viva Le Tour! The action this week has been awesome.
2) Hiking with Becky last weekend, what a good time.
3) Visiting Camp. It's been too long.
4) Covering the NMBS for Velo News.
5) A super-secret surprise, to be revealed next week....

Bottoms from the week:
1) So tired....
2) The drive-in... eh. It's cheap, but you have to sit in a car.
3) Eleven-day work weeks. I'm going to be really tired by the end of this.
4) The state of my ipod. It will be the radio this weekend.
5) Riding at the State Office Campus. Just like Prospect Park. At least the crew is fun!
