Misc Cycling Updates

Having a super busy weekend made it hard to keep up with everything going on. On a daily basis things are pretty easy to go read. After almost 4 days my email both at home and work were ready to explode. Quick congratulations to George and Mel Hincapie on little Enzo. Mel had the baby on Friday and all read's that they're both doing well!
Catching up finally and putting things here that were enjoyable and worthy reads...

Local Weekend Racing:
I was back home and went to watch the Giro di Grafton on Saturday and crit in Sheboygan on Sunday. Both were a lot of fun. Both Chad Hartley of Jittery Joe's and Garrett Peltonen from Bissell were there. Garrett finished 2nd Saturday night and Chad finished 3rd in both. I've been unable to find results so I'm not sure where Garrett finished on Sunday but know he won a couple money laps. See my entries at Podium Cafe for quick write ups and pics. I'd post more of the pics, especially from Sunday with the better camera but it took some time to link them.
