Kids dancing

    We were looking at some fun family YouTube videos today. (After we did some times tables, read some of War and Peace, memorized a sonnet or two--of course)

    I came across this old one from Blair's birthday party a few years ago. Rhody is almost two. Lainey is 3 1/2. You will see Cobb, Charly and Sam Thomas as well. Bo was just a baby. Hank wasn't even a thought yet.

    The quality is not good but you can see how much they love to dance. Rhody is the one you see first.



    Also, I added the video of Bo at his program in the previous post.

Bye Bye Preschool.

    This is our last week of preschool for Bo and Hank. Sweet and sad. It is our 3rd year to have Mrs. Hopkins. We love her (and Mrs. Boekemel)!

    A lot of people ask us if any of our children have any singing ability. The answer: we have no idea. Yes, they have their father's genes. They look a lot like him. But they have my no-singing-ability genes as well. Only time will tell.

    I have no idea if Bo can actually sing. But he does enjoy the stage. Just take a look at the pics below. See video below!!!

    We love you Bo!

Rock 'n Roll!

    That's really what crit racing is all about.  There's usually a fair amount of rock 'n roll playing on the loud speakers and high intensity, close course racing will really get your blood pumping!

    This past weekend TBS/CFA Racing took on the best Utah has to offer at the State Criterium Championships.  For some of our racers it was bad luck as they were taken to the pavement by crashes while others saw good results.

    Heather Smith was set up for a good finish but was forced wide into a barricade and crashed.  Some cuts and scrapes and a damaged helmet but she's ok, frustrated more than anything.

    Ben took a well earned 5th place in the Masters B category.  After working hard to stay up front Ben was the first to jump free on the final lap.  With half a lap to go the group started their sprint and Ben made a solid kick for 5th.  It was his best finish in 3 years!

    Trent rode his first crit as a Cat 3 racer and put in some solid efforts.  On the second lap he was slowed up by a crash in front of him and had to spend 4 laps solo trying to catch back up to the pack.  He did it and made it a close race.  Positioning himself well for the sprint he was just out kicked for 7th place taking 8th by a tire width.

    The Cat 1/2 group saw the most exciting racing of the day.  With a 40 plus filed of racers, it was on from lap one.  Midway through the 90 minute race and group of 5 made it free.  All five had large teams in the pack so it was up to TBS/CFA Racing to brigde.  Easier said than done however with no help.  The breakaway eventually caught back up to the group.  On the final lap, Manny worked hard for his 14th place and Darren was wiped out by a crash in front of him.  Some road rash, but he's ok.  Bummer though that this was 2 years in a row he was taken out on the last lap of the state championships.

    Next up is the Bear Lake Classic on May 14th.  This is a great race taking in 1 or 2 laps of beautiful Bear Lake on the UT/ID border.  Watch for more great results from the team "eatin' mor chikin"!

Cold weather, hot racing!

    The Antelope Island Classic is one of the most anticipated races of the Utah season.  The course provides plenty of challenge and opportunity for discerning racers.  And for the past 3 years, the weather has been a major factor.  This year was no different.  The roads were dry for once, but the cold was there is full force.  30 degree temps greeted the racers to the island.

    The racing got underway at 8 a.m. for TBS/CFA Racing.  Blake took a hard earned 7th place in the Cat 4's to add to his upgrade point tally.  Justin Gibson was right behind on the steep uphill finish for 9th.  The Masters Men made a great showing next.  After working extremely hard to stay with the leaders on the tough power climbs on each of the 3 laps of the island, Doug Olmstead scored a season best 9th place.  Ben Towery faded back to 17th on the steep final 200 meters but made a race out of it.

    The TBS/CFA ladies also had a successful outing.  Keri Gibson made the top 5 in the 1/2/3's and Heather Smith scored a 7th in the Cat 4's.

    Manny Cypers finished a well earned 12th in the Pro 1/2 category and our best finish on the day went to Darren Goff who landed 3rd on the podium.

    This team races as a team and the success is enjoyed by all.  The great results wouldn't happen without the help of the group.  A huge congrats to Dustin, Kevan, Jody, Denis, Danielle, Jaren and Trent for finishing strong and supporting their mates!

    The busy schedule continues this week with the State Crit Champs and then the always competitive Bear Lake Classic.
