Rain or Shine but Snow?

Yes, it's true, it was snowing at the Boulevard race on Saturday February 7th. It was awesome but of course I'm not the one on the bike. It sure was good to see all of our good friends again. Danny Van Haute and his Jelly Belly team with Bradd Huff. Matt the big Australian, my good friend Steve Hegg, '84 Gold Olympic winner who I bragg about all the time. And of course, our good friend Dr. Brent Kay and his Ouch team. Has anyone seen Floyd lately? He looks awesome and he has the Opie Taylor face of a Kid. It's a compliment. Floyd is such a nice guy. Iggy was saying that Floyd could have shreded the field if he had wanted to. He was talking the whole time and I think he was even eating pizza during the race. Iggy did great and was in the top 18 until 10 miles to go when he snapped his chain. Does that boy have torque or what? I'd better quit feeding him carne asada burritos. I think it's just his daddy's cooking. Iggy did awesome . He doesn't like to talk about himself nor does he ever make excuses. He was upset because he was there and made a big impression with all the "big boys" or should I say "big guns". One thing about Iggy, he's never satisfied and that's a good thing because it keeps him hungry. Son, you are awesome and I'm so proud of you. Keep up the good work and always be respectful to all of your friends in the cycling world. Just remember, no one is bigger than the sport of cycling, and it's always great to have friends and people liking you. Being a good rider and a nice guy goes along ways.

God, thank you so much for keeping everyone safe in the race yesterday. Also, UCSD thanks all so much for helping little Iggy. It was fun and you guys did a great race.

Love you all and God bless. Hope to see you guys at Red Trolley.

Thanks Kim for doing our postings. I'm going to try and give a report of our races that little Iggy does. I'm not good with punctuation so please excuse any run on sentences and things like that. The people who know me, know, that I speak from my heart. I will give you guys a report of what is going on. Hey maybe I will become a journalist mmmmm maybe? Anyways, my friend Kim who is helping us, has her hands full and again if you know me I try to make things easy for people who are giving their time in helping us. Thnak you to everyone who is lending a hand.

I took 3rd in the very first Boulevard RR back in 1984. SoCal Districts. I can attest to the fact that it is an extremely tough course. Anyone who can hang is a high-quality rider.
