Todd Wells took the victory today at the Verge Series event. He beat out Jesse Anthony and Chris Jones. Looks like he's coming in to form for Nats. Watch out Trebon!
I went bc skiing at Lolo today. Sunny and beautiful, but the coverage isn't quite there. Hopefully it will get better.
He's originally from Durango, but he went to school in Bozeman and race on the MSU team for a couple seasons. This past year he race for Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and travelled the NRC circuit as a neo-pro. The hard work has paid off. Jittery Joe's just announced they signed Ben for the 2008 season. Congratulations Ben! We'll be following your progress.

The Roubaix is tentatively scheduled for April 13th. Here's a picture from last year's race (courtesy of Twnya Morgan, www.gascyclingteam.com).
For all of you who have started training or are thinking about training, you've got 130 days till the Roubaix. Of course there are always early season races, like Cherry Pie in Corvallis, and the Mason Lake Series south of Seattle.
I'm excited to race the Roubaix. I've never raced it. I don't like the idea of a flat finish.....but I guess that's what Roubaix's are all about.
Todd Wells is a sick rider. This is a photo of him with his new GT cross bike, complete with the new SRAM Red group. I got this photo off of his blog http://www.toddwells.com/. Speaking of the Red group, Astana just signed a deal with SRAM for 2008.
Nadia has created a Northern Rockies Racing blog. It will be a great resource for the team and other Montana racers. The link is listed on the right
Trainer rides have started. The Missoula Bicycle Works ride will be on Wednesday's at MBW, and NRO's trainer ride will be on Monday at 6:30 at Tamara's place.
This weekend's GP's looked like a slop fest. I was close on my predictions. Johnson took day one and Trebon took day two. How about Jamey Driscoll?!??! I thought he would win the U23, but I didn't think he'd be in the top 10 both days. That guy is animal, and a future star of US cross.
