Gonna keep this one short and sweet. I am in a lot of pain.
Had a great race in SLO... stayed near the front, covered every move, took two primes and ended up in second place.
Upgraded and raced aggressive in the 3's. My only real concern in this race was to stay out of trouble. I stayed near the front and formed a three man break that stayed away for what felt like about 15 minutes or so. We split the work, rode smooth, keep it fast through the corners and stretched the gap to about 17 seconds at one point... but the field just wouldn't ease up in the slightest. At two to go I was sitting around 8th wheel or so, but after a bump here and a bump there, and my newly acquired Road Rash I sat up and finished 25th.
A picture of me with the real Champ!...
Props to Steve W. for hanging in there in what was a very fast 4's race.
Props to Z-pack for a great 8th place finish in the 3's and Smitty for riding an aggressive race.
Not sure where the rest of the team ended up as I headed home for some rest and recovery.
Be sure to check Marco's blog- Hes sure to have full race report with pictures up before long ;)
My parents were up and got the opportunity to watch me race.
This is my dad holding "The Buss" while I got Greg Alden to approve my upgrade.
