My new 1961 Cadillac

It is a 1961 Cadillac 6 window, 390, with air, power assist brakes, PS, AM radio, all original even the paint. 81,100 original miles. Rust free except in one spot on left front lower fender. It needs some transmission work, a little body work in the left front fender rust area, and the right rear quarter panel, and a new water pump but that's it.  Garaged its whole life and the interior is MINT. The headliner, door panels, dash pad, the whole inside, even the carpet is original. It all looks like new except for the carpet which only shoes minimal wear. The upholstery is unbelievable and really looks like day one except for one small area. It's like the original owners had clean clothes every time they drove it  The back seat is really like day 1. There is no way that if you saw it you would think that it was from 1961. Three owner and it sat since 1983 because of the transmission from the first owner. It runs and drives fine, just can't get out of first gear.  Thanks Vlad with the sale and help getting it home!

Update on Cycling

It has been a while since I have updated my blog. Here is what happened three months ago.

I did very well on the first race of the season, it was a 10 mile time trial. I pulled out a first place finish and won by three .03 seconds! That gave me first place overall going into the next stage of the series.

The second race of the series was the March 30th Slammer Road Race. The race organizer combined some fields since the field sizes were smaller. There were about 60 or so at the start. I had 2 teammates but they were in the B group. I was by myself in the A group for our team. On the second lap about 1/2 way through the race I was at the front and another rider came to the front and went right in front of my front wheel taking me down. We were doing 29 mph and I crashed out the worst I have ever had. I ended up being rushed off to St. Lukes where they transferred me to St. Al's because they thought that I was going to need an operation to remove my spleen. I was in ICU where I discovered that I had broken my collar bone, my scapula (shoulder), three ribs, and deflated my lung. All on the side I hit the ground with, my left side. I was in the hospital for 6 days and two weeks later I had surgery to place a titanium plate to connect my collar bone back together. My spleen was to be OK.

It has been three long months off of the bike and race season is over for me this year. I really would have liked to see just how well I would have competed against these guys in the 1,2,3's (A group) being from California. I guess I will have to wait till next year to see how I do here in Idaho.
