Louisville cross 2008

An awesome day of cross racing in Louisville
Mike,Dan,Mark and Lou made the trip,Mark Dan and Lou all raced 3/4 masters.
I think there was 20+ riders,seeing Dan near the front 4 or 5 riders at the start was awesome, Lou was a few more riders back and Mark was toward the back enjoying being on his bike.But in the end Lou came on strong while Dan faded a bit(due to racing 2 times on Sat up in Columbus) and I believe Mark was in the fight of his life with the chainsmoking kid on a Huffy.
So Lou finnished 2nd with Dan a fine 5th and mark got 10th(I believe).
My race went as I figured due to being sick for 7 days I started slow and slowly worked my way to the back..Oh well as long as it turns around in the next few weeks.

Loveland cross

1st off..... THANKS!!!! to everyone that made my daughter and
granddaughter welcome..YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST

Note to self do not use 1st cross race of the year to do 2 races
especially if the 1st one is on the single speed...DUH!!!!!
race started ok with 50 or so riders gained a buch of spots then on a
long straight that narrowed a bit i followed a rider into some tall
grass(which was tall because they couldnt mow it because of the deep
rut)he crashed and i followed him to the ground no damage other than
to my psyche

Like Susan said sometimes you need to race with alot of anger,which i
did for 21/2 laps but after that I didnt seem to be gaining any time
on the riders in front so I decided I would save myself for my main
race but then someone would pass me and tell me to come on i would
jump on their wheel and race them before you know it the race was over
but the damage was done.my 2nd race was the masters cat 123 at the
start i was in the middle of the 30 or so riders but started to fade
with cramps in my arms and my back was getting tight so i bailed after
a few laps.

This is the 1st race of a long season that ends here

Nice job to Lou(2nd place) and Dan(3rd).It was great to see Susan and
Mike and Mark, Guy was there in his 1st race on a sweet Surly and
Geoff and Jeni(who raced on a team in the 12 hours of Mohican MTB race
up near Mansfield on Sat. also sporting a nice bruise after using her
leg to try and break a rock) also Scott B out on a stealthy MTB.
NICE JOB to everyone
