Watchusett Mountain Road Race

7.30.05 The Road Race. Probably my best race of the year. A hundred miles flew by, and I climbed the final climb in the group containing the race leader's jersey and the sprint competition jersey. Friends in the race noticed and were congratulating me on my ride. Granted there was a huge, well represented break about two minutes up the road, which more or less neutralized the rest of the field. After the first two days of this race I was deeply satisfied finishing with my peers. feat. The Mercury Program

Aubuchon / Glidden Circuit Race

7.30.05 The Circuit Race. I got dropped, lapped, dropped again, dropped one of my three bottles, missed getting a bottle in the feed zone, and all of this in front of one of the biggest crowds I've seen this year (or maybe ever).  I was going up the climb with some kid that couldn't talk 'cause he was breathing so hard, crowds on both sides of the street, dead quiet. So I gesticulated like I wanted to hear something and got some noise. One of the hardest days I have ever had on the bike. Not that I was sad or angry, but after the race I became emotional and thought I was going to burst into tears. Could my Fitchburg get any better? I had a hundred mile road race the following day to find out. feat. Volta Do Mar and Cody doing Phil Collins

Fitchburg Longsjo Classic, Best Western Royal Plaza TT

7.17.05 Fitchburg, day one. I actually used to be a good time trialist. For the first time ever I missed my start. Great way to get this insanely hard race under way. I had two goals: get a good hard ride in and not finish last. Done. Ari did the TT in 15min flat, which is wicked fast. It could only get better, I thought. feat. Metallica

everyday, people

7.13.05 Yeah, I know, all the Fitchburg stuff is coming. Until then life on the top US amateur squad, and what it's like to be a girl. Oh! And how about the other Logan Hodson?

Seacoast Crit

7.7.05 I showed up to race and watched instead as Jon Hamblen killed it convincingly. I wanted to see how taking the week off from work was going to play out with four days of Fitchburg coming up. I got smacked so hard that I began to feel like I should just go back to work and expect to have it (my ass) handed to me one way or the other.  In case you don't know, that's Dick Ring in the matching blue cap and polo. feat. Faith No More

I went to New Britain again

7.6.05 feat. Attention Deficit

Housatonic Hills Road Race

7.6.05 Andy brought me to this race the first time and started it all. Thanks Andy. feat. Voivod

Cox Charities Cycling Classic Crit part TWO

7.1.05 So, COX part two. Thanks again to Lindsey for being Lindsey on the spot with my camera.
I start to actually have a good race and chow street with two laps to go. I was pissed, but it was my first crash in a long time and I walked away with scratches.  We were going pretty fuckin fast. It was actually exhilarating. Just for the record: All of the pictures for the last 20 or so posts are links to quicktime movies. JSYK Aesop Rock again.
