    We traveled to Madison Wisconsin this weekend to watch my son compete for Marian Universtiy of Indianapolis in the Division 1 cycling Collegiate Nationals. He qualified during the regular season for one of 8 spots on the team as a Freshman and they WON! He now has a gold medal, stars and stripes champions jersey and gets a championship ring. They raced an outdoor on and off road course in 15 degree weather. My wife and I shed tears of joy for his success. I would give up every trophy buck I have ever killed for that moment. Indescribable....

    Thanks guys. I am pretty sure the smile I am wearing is permanent. Just so happy for him. He has worked his rear off to get where he is.
