The training leading up to the last
race of the series has been hit and miss.
In the end it was worth every pedal stroke to stand on the podium -
again !! He brought home the hardware/wood
after a great performance at Roslyn Rush.
He held on for 4th giving him 3rd overall in the Fat Tire Revolution
Series.
This first climb was pretty brutal.
Steep, about a mile long. My head wasn't
necessarily in the game, but it wasn't out of it either. I knew when I started
that I didn't want to lead it out. I was 3rd wheel as we entered the climb and
one guy messed up his line at an odd spot putting me in 2nd wheel.
First lap was fairly unpleasant, but
I did okay. Second lap was a little better, only pushing at the top of the
brutal section of the climb. I glanced back and saw what seemed like 4 or 5
guys chasing me. I just dug in and put it in the big ring whenever I could and
rolled the DH as best I could. I pushed the pace on the flatter sections as
much as I could and held everyone off. There may have only been 3 guys, but it
seemed like more.
