Big Ring Classic
So I will cut more to the chase. After an evening of a downpour, we were ready for the chilly 28-ish mile race head of us. I wasn't sure how I'd fair. I had been training, but it didn't show at Rhinelander...I was pretty disappointed with that. My main goal was to stick with a good train at the beginning. I sat on Holly's wheel until the singletrack when Comp guys rolled in to break it up.
Before half way I decided to face plant pretty hard. Therefore bending my handlebars a few degrees off. I was going to stop to attempt to straighten but decided to race as much and as long as possible. At this point I was sitting 6 or 7th throughout the second lap.
The third lap came, I just wanted to maintain my position. About 3 women got me right in the last lap as I just started to lose a little bit of strength. 
Nonetheless...I finished...not last...and not second to last! I was very proud to have a little more of a satisfying result. Not quite where I'd like to be but its an improvement.
I hope with some good riding in I should be able to maintain that power a bit more. Still no podium close, but I'm creepin closer... Thanks for the support from those who have been giving it. I'm glad I've got friends like I do mountain biking that I can't find in Kentucky. Thanks!

Richmond and Hyde Park

Portobello Market and Kensington Palace
It gave me a chance to find some really cool things....
Afterwards I finally got my bike and got it dialed in. I then rolled up to Hyde Park where Kensington Palace is, rode a bit then checked out the palace. It was great.
Spent some time on the steps of Prince Albert's Monument/Memorial.
After the day we hit up Oneill's for some brewskies. I actually enjoyed the Guiness and StrongBow.

London by foot
I do my grocery shopping here at Sainsbury's which is actually pretty nice.
