For the junior men race I was able to take the lead into the climb after a bad start from missing my pedal. I was trying to start really hard here for practice going into worlds. It worked out perfectly, because after missing the pedal I had to go even harder to get to the front. It was long climb, probably 7-8 min. By the top I opended a little gap and just carried it through the lap and slowly increased it by finish. It was just another great day on the bike, I was feeling like a million bucks on the climbs, technical and descents. On the first lap I was doing a super ill line that teamate Tyler Allison and myself picked out, and I bent my deraillear hanger. So luckily I left my granny ring for these races because I had to use it on the climb seeing though I only had the bottom half of my cassette to use on the super steep climbs. I pushed myself right to the end, because knowing that at Worlds I am going to have five guys within 30 sec infront and behind me, which means chase until you cant pedal your bike anymore. I did just that and was able to almost double my gap on the last lap and come in with the hands high and a huge smile on my face. I was feeling at home on this course, even though its the complete opposite of what I ride, but I think that is what makes me love this east coast riding so much.
Just packing the bike and heading into Montreal with the gang, then fly home tomorrow, but only home for 10 days before the next races, Canada Games!
