I was doing baby sitting intervals all day on Father’s day. Not only I had my two troublemakers,but also watched Leanne’s two boys while she went on a road ride. I tell ya…this is a tough business. Even tougher is the cleanup after two 2.5 year olds are playing in your car for an hour,finding the toothpaste…sorry Leanne.
After Iron Lung I followed Amy’s advice and visited Dr. Greg Uchacz. He looked at my knee and figured that some of my muscles are too tight and causing my knee issue. This is good news as first I thought I twisted something on the Giver8r. After some aggressive (and effective) soft tissue work he told me to test out my knee on the weekend but avoid racing.
It was good timing as this is a race where Sport and Elite categories race the same time,so only one of us can race (got few kids you know).
Towed the Aliner to Paddy’s flat camping and had some great time with the kids roasting marshmallows on Saturday evening.
On Sunday Bogi,Ramona and Alistair lined up for sport category while Justin were ready to hammer his first ever XC race in novice. Spent some time chasing kids and in about 50 minutes or so Alistair stormed by the start area leading the sport field by a large margin. He eventually earned his first win of the season!
Bogi and Ramona had a great fight that saw Bogi finishing 1st and Ramona 2nd in sport women . Justin finished his race strong,and will likely join us in Edmonton as well!
The Elite race was dominated by the Hardcore guys from Edmonton taking top 3. It was also great to see Craig Stappler racing again. I was worried that the roadies took him to the dark side this year.
As for me I had two good rides on the weekend,both of them on the Pneauma trail. Tested out the knee by climbing to the top with Jon on Saturday and more riding on Sunday. So far so good,I am keeping my fingers crossed and going back to the doc on Monday.
Deadgoats did a great race again,next time lets include more Pneuma trail please! Bow Cycle had a ton of raffle prizes for almost everyone!
keep riding.

Glad to hear the knee is healing up Gabor…I visit Chiropratic Performance as well (though I see Dr. Gareau),once every 4-6 weeks during heavy race season seems to keep everything runnin’smoothly for me – Hopefully you’re able to start layin’down the hurt soon (and pain free).
See you at the next race I’m sure!
