Keep up the hard work and good luck in your next event.<BR/>P.S. I noticed in the results that a local boy, Ben Renkema, finish 4th in 1/2/Pro. He used to race MTB with my son a few years ago and is a awesome rider. Glad to see he is having success.oldmanandhisbikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03568869136353160438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28793115.post-57120088120089865832008-05-29T10:43:00.000-05:002008-05-29T10:43:00.000-05:00Good job Sydney! Seems like it keeps getting better and better and it's so cool watching you and team Revolution succeed! Good luck in Tulsa.<BR/><BR/>Your dad has a way with words.

If you're afraid to push to the edge of what you know, you will only be as good as you were the last time out. <BR/><BR/>Remember that I told you growing up that when I nodded for my stock I wanted the pedal to the metal just shy of crash and burn. When you do that in every competition the winners begin to give you the hand-up shortcuts, not because they want you to beat them, but simply a winner's way of saying, "Hey, you're a can doer, I don't want you to quit 'cause I like beating your butt." *LOL*<BR/><BR/>That's when you'll know you need to perfect your experience as much as trying to get more of it.<BR/><BR/>Good week-end! But it's gone...think Tulsa!Dadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28793115.post-6786537326879321782008-05-29T07:57:00.000-05:002008-05-29T07:57:00.000-05:00Bryan, you should go. I have really come to enjoy the Iowa races and scene. There's so many cool people and they are well-run events.<BR/><BR/>You should also put Tulsa Tough on your list. The payouts are high for all events, the courses are challenging and the events are extremely well organized.sydney_bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15782403218440471252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28793115.post-4339198220703413162008-05-28T23:08:00.000-05:002008-05-28T23:08:00.000-05:00nice weekend, Syd. I'm going to have to sack up and go next year. Iowa City was telling for me, so I passed. Hopefully next time it'll tell me something different.bryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11912338270471222275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28793115.post-87135809085922960322008-05-28T17:26:00.000-05:002008-05-28T17:26:00.000-05:00sounds to me like you have a pretty good idea what's going on around you and the right approach to racing and gaining valuable experience! good on 'ya, girl! congrats on your finishes in some pretty tough races!bluecolnagohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09134285478201494323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28793115.post-60402585559313218412008-05-28T13:39:00.000-05:002008-05-28T13:39:00.000-05:00good results syd, congrats on a fruitful weekend.<BR/><BR/>i've said it before and i'll say it again - every race is a learning lab. keep taking those notes.sdahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08573201854566191645noreply@blogger.com
