2009 Masters Meets at Pettit National Ice Center

Yo!

The Superweek International Cycling Classic ended today, with US master speed skater Tom Cole hitting the top 20 in three Cat 4 races and bringing home cash each race from Friday to Sunday. Afterwards we went to the fastest 400 meter paved oval in town-Marshall High School in Milwaukee,where Tom took time to still blaze a 3000k on the track on inlines.

There were lots of other speed skaters/officials chillin' in attendance at the Great Downer Ave Bicycle Race July 26-Bruce Lanser and his wife,Erica Lanser,Carla Langenthal,Brenda Trollinger,Danny Frederick and family,Neil Gollhardt,Dan Beck,Tommy,Jen and Joe Kraynyck. Also. reports are out that Team (Tony)Goscowicz and Team (Bob)Fenn are hard at work getting ready for the 2008-2009 season.
