my man and his bike

Paul races cyclocross, and he is doing really well in his first season racing, and I am proud of him so I'm going to post some pictures of his races.

Stop being so jealous of how good he looks in spandex.

The first race of the season was Nittany Lion Cross in Trexlertown, PA.

 Barriers!

It was one muddy race!

Nathan (brother-in-law) also raced!

And so did JPOWWWW (he won the pro race of course!)

The next race was called the Hillbilly Hustle, in South Jersey.
It was very rainy and cloudy and that means no great natural light and blurry pictures, so I only got a few decent ones. I mean, he's just moving way too fast!

At the start, Paul was nice enough to give me a little smile!

 Then it was time to get down to business.

Then we headed up to Providence Rhode Island! We didn't get to see much of the state, but we did get to see a lot of great bike racing at one of the coolest park - Roger Williams was it's name I believe. They have swan boats - next year, we are going on the swan boats.

This park was so nice, all these great lakes and old structures, I just loved it!

This was called the temple of music. ha!

 (neon sighting #7?)

Providence was a big race, so they had tents and food trucks and a beer garden, all sorts of fun.
This food truck had ice cream, but soon I realized it was vegan, and so I went with a root beer because ice cream is supposed to have milk/cream in it, yes?

Paul went with a watermelon slushy.

We sat under a tree and picnicked, and I was getting tired from long days out in the sun.

And this penny farthing guy was awesome, until we were leaving for the day and a big van cut us off, and guess it who was. Mr. Pennyfarthing.

 Triumphant statues...

See! Swan Boats!

The next morning, we were up and at it again for more bike racing.

Paul is real good at cyclocross and it's become a fun weekend ritual for us to go and get to see new places around the East. Hooray!
