I bought this IRO Mark V in May, 2005.

I road this bike in cities all over the country and it has touched the Atlantic and Pacific.

I wish they still made their tear drop top tube, that was one sexy bike.

I road it into the ground. I cracked the bottom tube and the seat post tube is ripped. Even so? I can’t bring myself to throw it away or give it to a recycler. Damnit. Maybe frame it and put it on my wall?

It’s been good year and there are two more coming…

Yep…

New band stuff…Pirate.

I helped put on a day of racing today the Chicago Velo Campus. The weather was great and we had a pretty good turnout.

We really need to get more women into track racing, just saying.

Anyway, last set of actual races on a track this year unless I got to Australia or something.
