On
May 31 - June 2, PCG Athlete Mark Jackson, coached by Master/Elite Coach
Christopher Myers, had an epic adventure at the Norfolk Cycling Stage Race in
Norfolk, England.
This UCI Grand Fondo Worlds qualifying athlete braved
heavy winds, several mechanicals, and flats to still over come adversity.
On the first stage, while competing with the lead break away group, Mark
suffered a flat tire. After making a quick tire change in the pouring
rain and 20+ mph winds, he time-trialed to the finish to still place in the top
ten. On the second day, Mark crushed his competition in coming second
place for the day. The final day (stage 3), Mark showed his true colors.
During the break away, the leader of the race flatted. Mark could
have easily take kept riding and won the entire race. Showing outstanding
sportsmanship, Mark turned around and assisted the leader. Both riders
flew to the finish line, with Mark taking 3rd on the day and 3rd overall for
the Norfolk Stage Race.
Great riding and great sportsmanship,
Mark!!!
