Awesome weekend for TR

This weekend we had two 1st place finishes, three 2nd place finishes, three 3rd places finishes, one 2nd place GC finish and two 3rd place GC finishes. Made some cash and had some fun.

RR on Saturday went well, Alison got the big dubb for the women, Chris almost beat out two Trek guys that he was in a break with. Owen rolled in with a chase group, Tim in a chase group behind that and Jeff, Dan and myself rode in with the pack.

TT Sunday morning, Owen rode into 4th, just 20 seconds off Dave Vukets. Dan was our next best, with Jeff in shortly behind and Chris and Trevor just after that. Tim and I rolled the TT so we would have fresh legs for the crit. We were planning to set up T man for the win.

Criterrium Sunday afternoon was very interesting with a 900 M section on a gravel dyke. I was feeling like money all race and talked the guys about attacking on the gravel because I was getting gaps on the gravel turns everytime, Dan did a wicked lead out for me along the gravel and we both gapped the field by the time we hit the road and the it was a 200 M sprint to the finish, Dan rode into 2nd and Tim won the bunch sprint, so we went 1-2-3 on the stage. Chris hung on to 3rd in GC and Owen was 5th on GC. The girls rode hard, With Alison chasing the overall GC the women worked hard to try and get her the 30 sec advantage she needed. It ended up coming down to a bunch sprint where Alison and Jessica took 1-2 and finshed 1-2 overall.

Rad Weekend!

Just rode the mtb with the wide bars, trying out Kabush style, I can't believe how much faster I could descend! New bars might be in the making...
