I created this blog to keep track of my racing exploits. I am currently racing with a great elite team out of Michigan (Team Lathrup/Giant)formerly Ford/Giant Cycling team. This makes it easy for my family to read about my races and see pictures of me in action. Thank you very much for positive comments and for reading

Hilly in Kentucky

This weekend the WMU team went down to Columbia, Kentucky for the Lindsey Wilson RR on sat and a Crit on sun. The road race course is alot of fun with alot of climbs and some fast decents. The race went ok for me, a little more climbing than i am used to but still a good race, i finished up 9th and earned some good pts. On sunday there was a 65min crit, on a 1mile course with 10 turns on it. Think about that, it was a lot of turning but still fairly fast course. About 30 min on a prime lap i attacked and got clear, i was flying solo for about 20 min before a marina rider (John Royal) and Lindsey Wilson rider (Keith Skiles) bridged accross. with about 6 laps to go in the race we dropped Keith and John and i continiued to work with each other. On the last lap John attacked hard into a corner and got a gap on me that i wasn't able to close. He won the race and i got a hard fought 2nd. I managed to get alot of prime pts so even with his win, i ended up only 1 pt less than him for the race. As the current standing are, I am first in the conferance overall. A good feeling as i have yet to be first at anything on a bike. Anyways more to come.
