the like five photos from the chicago crit. unedited really. it was all the battery power it took to focus. so lots of them are total shit for the most part.
number pinning fail:


chris horner was there.


after the race.


caroline's so cute, she made everyone lunch in labeled bags.

yesterday i floated with adam. and it was good (although my poor paleskin got hellishly sunburned). and the whole time i wished i had a camera just to document. it's a good sign that i'm feeling more attached to the cameras lately. i also decided that everyone is just going to have to get used to me having a camera at all times. i was sitting with caroline, clayton, and erik after the crit and i felt weird taking pictures. well, i didn't feel weird, i thought they'd think i was weird. but if i've got it out all the time, everyone is just going to have to get used to it.

going to chicago. for the day. for a crit.

it's a throwback to my youth, when family "vacation" was going to see my dad's races every weekend.

i like it.

i like pop. i know, it's embarrassing.

one more day after today at the registrar. i don't feel like going....it's raining. ew.

something happened. i dropped off the map. i know. i didn't mean to. i've been feeling like i need to. not a fair thing to do. to anyone. now i'm getting the same back and i know i shouldn't just ignore everyone in my life.

rupa did a happy dance for cat 1 riders, just for me. hahaha

more from the parking garage:

kilroy's patio:

too many people may know about my blog.
it makes me edit myself too much. but i don't want to censor. so i guess i won't anymore.
i'm tired of just going through the motions.
i've done a good job in the last week of making sure no one knows where i am or can't get ahold of me. i dropped as far off the map as i can at the moment.

i'm a part of something big now.

perfect. bikes.

kelly jean visited. and we had a good time... went to upland and oliver and had good talks. photo evidence:
