Pretty cool race around RFK Stadium in the Capital City. 1.2 mile course and flat as a pancake. Kenda rode great and we were active the whole race. We lined it up perfect at the end for yours truly but with 1 lap to go I flatted. Had great legs today and was in search of a great result. That's racing!
Chad B rode great and was top 10. After the race we spun around DC and did some sight seeing. We ran into the big motorcycle parade which was super cool. Its really cool to see everything in DC. Every time I come here I still get overwhelmed with the history and patriotism all around. What a feeling!
We packed up the car in route to Somerville and scooped Ty up in Philly on the way. A nice team dinner and now time for bed.
Feeling a bit under the weather for some reason tonight. Feel like I got a bit of a bug as well as my allergies being bad. Good nights rest should cure it.
Tour of Somerville tomorrow. Great race with lots of history. Time for some rest and I look for great things tomorrow.

Nothing exciting...
Last weekend was a rough one for me. I over did it a bit with the training last week so my legs felt like dead wood. So nothing exciting for me at all. Chad B had a good ride on Sunday getting 7th at BikeJam so atleast the team got a result.
I have had a nice long easy week to get the legs back under me and they have been feeling great the last couple days. I am back in DC, again, for the RFK Criterium. We only have 4 guys today... Rich, Scottie, Birdman, and myself. This will be the 1st time this year I have raced with Scottie so looking forward to it.
Today kicks off a lot of racing for me as we have today, Sommerville tomorrow, and Ricola on Wed. Then I fly to Tulsa for 3 days there. Glad I am going into this with fresh legs.
I will get this updated from the road but you can always follow my twitter. www.twitter.com/marcoaledia The team also has a twitter now as well. www.twitter.com/kendaprocycling. So check that out.
Okay I'm running late... we race in 2.5 hours.. attack!

Wow where has time gone. Its been a while since I've blogged. I think I'm addicted to twitter!
Let's see what has gone on since my last update... Been traveling a ton.. Raced twilight, roswell, sunny king and sandy springs. Been active and racing well but just a bit of bad luck at the end of races has kept a good result from me. 18th is all I could muster at twilight after almost crashing with a half lap to go.. And 12th at sunny king after almost going down with 2 turns to go.
Last week I got some good rest and a weekend off with the wife was nice. Back to hardcore training this week and some big races this weekend in Bank of America Grand Prix and Bike Jam.
The form is good and the mind is even better so looking forward to better things this weekend. We have a strong team for this weekend so I expect good things.
The next month is busy as after I fly home from this weekend I am back to Sommerville, NJ then straight to Tulsa, OK, then home. Lots of airplane time!
I figured out a way to blog from my phone finally so I will keep this more updated... But if you want instant updates follow me on Twitter! I promise to keep ya entertained! www.twitter.com/marcoaledia.
Time to fly!
