We spent the weekend in Grandview, Ohio a suburb of Columbus. The
Tour of Grandview Cycling Classic is a great event in the streets of 1960's neighborhoods with sidewalks, friendly people, and small cafes. We stayed with a great host family, Steve and Scotty, who Sean, Weaver, and Rodney stayed with last year.
Team CTM raced well and enjoyed the local race scene. I decided to sit this race out due to lack of training time although I enjoyed watching the Women's races and new teams that have formed in the North. We borrowed a cool chopper bike from our host family to pedal around town-I felt so Euro! I miss the North in the summer...like the cool breezes, lush greenery, and establishments that are open on Sunday mornings. Sean heads to Louisville, KY on Wednesday for Masters Nationals and I travel to our lake home in Northern Indiana to stay with family over the 4th. Wish him luck!
This weekend Sean and I took separate paths as he headed South to visit his family in Columbus, IN and race Masters in Louisville, while I went with my family to our lake home on the Michigan/Indiana border. Locals creatively call it "Michiana." We had great weather and I was able to meet my nephew, Grayson, for the first time. We leave for the West on Tuesday. Sean races Sunday morning so stay tuned for the race report.
Sean competed this morning in the Masters Road Race, which was 60 miles. He was in a break for over half the race and towards the end of the race was caught. Another break took off and he wasn't in it. Sunday is the criterium. Check out his new bike from AeroCat! You don't need to make your legs look any bigger Sean...nice try!
