Matt Donahue: SM100 2008

http://mdonahue.blogspot.com/2008/09/great-job-to-all-who-roderaced-on.html

Friday, September 05, 2008. Great job to all who rode/raced on Sunday. For the duration of the race I rode with or very near CB teammates which really made the day. At the start I got caught off guard by the slightly false start- again, no worries, no chase, just ridin'! Wheaton showed up around the time when I finished cleaning out my wheel, we rode to the first climb together passing Anna wishing her a happy birthday! She was cheery and seemingly enjoying herself, although wishing for a 50 mile version!

http://mdonahue.blogspot.com/2007/11/math-test-for-canadians.html

Wednesday, November 28, 2007. Math Test for Canadians. Over Thanksgiving, we flew to Minneapolis to spend the holiday my in-laws. We flew on Northwest Airlines. Northwest, formerly known to me as 'Northworst,' did an excellent. So what does this have to do with testing the math skills of Canadians? Well, after completing the survey, I clicked on the rules and regulations link of the survey's thank you message (I was curious when they were planning to draw the winner - not that I expect to win, but curiou...

Matt Donahue: RFK Crit Race Report

http://mdonahue.blogspot.com/2007/06/rfk-crit-race-report.html

Monday, June 18, 2007. RFK Crit Race Report. As Mike S. reported, we lucked out with the 8:45 AM start time and enjoyed the lowest temperatures of the day. I’m sure it would have been a different race had we started with the 4s at 4PM. It marked my first top-three road finish. Thanks to Bega and the Hub Racing crew for running a great Crit. Thanks to the sponsors for their support! It’s great to have a local race that you can ride to within your home town. Posted by Matt Donahue at 5:00 PM.

Matt Donahue: Greenbelt 5/14

http://mdonahue.blogspot.com/2008/05/greenbelt-514.html

Thursday, May 15, 2008. Raced my first road race of the year last night, the Greenbelt. Training" race. It's a good experience in concept. Ride out to the race- nice 30 min warm up. Race for an hour, ride home for 30 mins. I could be grumpy about some of the riding etiquette. In the race, but really it's not worth writing about. I came away with somewhere around 10 th. Place, although the 'official' standings (13 deep) don't list me at all. They also don't list the guy that was in 6 th. At all. Woops.

Matt Donahue: Cranky Monkey Dirt Crit Burnout

http://mdonahue.blogspot.com/2007/08/cranky-monkey-dirt-crit-burnout.html

Wednesday, August 08, 2007. Cranky Monkey Dirt Crit Burnout. First, I rode an 82 mile Mass-Sky ride in Saturday's heat. Sunday was the Cranky Monkey dirt crit. It's a full gas effort for 60 minutes plus one lap- a.k.a. 70 minutes. We rolled into the parking lot- with 7? Steve ended up starting further back than I did, he lined up with the single speeders who were next on the line. I went through some back and forth, but generally kept slowing down. Steve passed me. and just as I was about to head...Resto...
