Then I raced CROSS!
Tobes and TJBabes joined.
Tobes crashed 3 times and dinged his carbon.
I flatted! Ran half the course after being in the lead by a bit. I made the pass nearing the end to get 3rd.

Raleighwoods!!
So I finally did what I said I would never do. I went back to Raleigh. I guess when I first went to Raleigh, I judged it as a commuter unfriendly community with no scene. By the time I left, it was turning a new greener leaf. It's not only that I was learning of the great things, but they were actually starting! Most of my friends were cyclists. Most of my friends commuted by car. Most of the cars tried to hit me. Downtown was barren. Slammer Magazine was the kind of deranged entertainment to be had. Nearing the end of my stay...well...it was different. Downtown was bustling. Bikes were hot. Cyclists were hotter. I must say, my return showed me that the rise of Raleigh kept going. It was....fun!
Before my opinion of Raleigh depended on when you asked me, if there was booze, were there bikes around, etc. but real talk, that shit is cool now.
Unfortunately, I chose hanging out over packing up and totally forgot my camera. Sarah saved me on the Raleigh front and I definitely saw someone taking pictures at the wedding, I think anyway, so I should be covered.
Friday I: Visited Doris, and then daughter 1 walked in, then daughter 2...it took a southern minute anyway. Oh and BTDubs, this was via Sarah's bike which I had to bring into the shop to fix to have brakes! Then I went to the LAB lab and visited the old coworker family. Nuts as always. Then I went to the DTR. Cyclists came out (prolly in cars) and the other LAB heads were there too.
Saturday I: Breakfast/Lunch tradition with Sarah. Then weddinged it. Saw additional more pro cyclists and more pro cyclists dancing.
Sunday I: Saw Joel face make a sandwich. Farmers market! Art museum!!
Then back to Oakland. Sarah, send me some pics.
