Best '07 Memories

[Pat S]

Now that the season is not quite over, but definitely drawing to a close, what are some of your best memories?

A few of mine:

- Riding with Alan at the end of March when he hit 1000 miles for the month
- Getting dropped like a rock 10 miles into Frozen Flatlands (I thought I was doing so good!)
- Being in my first (and only) 3-man break off the front with Dan G and a Baddlands rider in a Twilight Race (He out-sprinted us at the finish, but it was still way cool).
- Seeing my wife at the finish line after riding from Seattle to Portland in one day :-)

hmm, I'm not a real sentimental person about my riding, but here are a few memorable rides:

Best Race moments:
Elkhorn Stage Race, all of it
Winning Star Meadows RR in Whitefish, MT
Rocky Mountain Roubaix, all of it
Tour of Walla Walla crit in the pouring rain
Nooksak Omnium crit, (up up up, down down down)

Worse Race Moments:
Mutual of Enumclaw (various reasons)
any Twilight Series that I get dropped

Best Rides:
Soft Pedal's to the Rocket Market after work
The "Lewiston Grade" ride in March
Dan's 140 mile happy ride over Flowery Trail.
Springdale-Hunters-Chewelah Classic

Hope to do all of these again next year. ;D

That about sums it up. I think the rest was a blur.

Off the cuff:

Best Moments of '07

• Hitting the 1,000 mile marker for the 1,000-mile March.
  
• Getting back on the bike after months of being off of it from back surgery, even if it was just a 9-mile ride and I cramped up later that day.
  
• Surprising myself with a fourth-place finish on a Tuesday night ride. I was just racing to finish without crashing but with the right positioning at the final sprint, you never know what can happen.
  

Worst Moments of '07

• Months of drugs, acupuncture, cortizone shots, and physical therapy doing almost nothing for the back pain.
  
• Back surgery that kept me off the bike for literally 5 months.
  
• Not racing the 24 Hour Round and Round race. Next year, boys. Next year.
  

I'm with Goode: It's the end of the season already?! When did this happen?! All in all the year rates as great:I'm alive and I can ride. I don't need much more than that.
