High 30s sounds good

The weather hasnt been so bad the last couple of days. I got out on the derby on Sunday and it was about 50 people. By the end there were around 20 of us. I finished 2nd. The industrial park training crits start this weekend, and they are notorious for below freezing temperatures and snow squarrels. Slowly the racing will pick up here in Pa. But till then the trainer will be my best friend. Besides KBB.

I arrived back in Pa this morning around 2 am. When I exited the plane, it was 11 degrees outside. I went from getting sunburned to wearing several layers of clothing to keep warm in mear hours. I look forward to racing and training with everyone hopefully in the near future.

P.S.

Parker and Austin Im so proud of you. -KBB

About Me

Hey everyone, I saw that people were posting information about themselves, so I decided to do the same.

My name is Epes Harris, I live in a small town in Pennsylvania called Macungie and it is about five miles away from the T-Town velodrome. I have been racing for about 4 years mainly on the track. Over the years I have grown to like the road a lot too. Two years ago at nationals I won the 15-16 points race, and finished 3rd overall. Last years nationals did not go so well, because during the first race of the 2007 nationals I crashed and broke a couple of ribs. Luckily the other juniors and I were still able to capture a silver medal in the team pursuit later on at nationals. I also placed third at Somerville Criterium which is probably the biggest junior crit on the east coast. This is year is a new year though and I look forward to once again racing with everyone from the team. I am looking forward to winning the gold this year in the team pursuit after coming so close last year.
