a great weekend of racing.
saturday at badger prairie: i managed to get into the front row and got a good start. badger prairie was a long course so 3 laps was it. lap 1, i managed to hang with a couple of the strong riders up front. i was second wheel through the start finish and the lead rider got a gap. about half way through the lap i was feeling good and he was tentative in the corners so a passed him and buried it. next thing i knew i had 30 seconds on #2 and a minute on #3. i guess i leveraged the fact that i've been riding there at least once a week since i got the motobecane. that is how it finished for my first cross w ever and only my second bike race win ever. there were cash payouts so i essentially raced for free...sweet.
sunday at camrock: 4 laps this time. another front row start. a planet bike guy got out fast and i settled in 4th or 5th wheel. a couple of uw milwaukee guys were jamming up the trail while he rode away so i went hard and tried to reel him in. i did, but i towed the eventual winner with me for all of lap 2. towards the end of lap 4 i was bring him back but i was cooked and settled for a nice 2nd. another payout means i raced twice for $10. double sweet.
happy sunday.
