Made the trip to Louisville with Mr. Ramsey at O dark thirty on Sat for round 1 and 2 of the USGP of cyclocross.

Had a nice representation of 7 hills... Geoff,Jeni, Robin(team mascot),Mark and Linda,and Gumby(who is now addicted)

Over 80 riders in the C race,and 25+ in the ladies 3/4 race.and 35 in the masters race.

Geoff had a good race with a mid pack finish and Dan and Gumby a little farther back then Mark a little further back and Jeni finished mid pack against a big group of Cat 3 women.

I felt good warming up for my race,then 15 min to call up I realized I couldn't clip in on my right pedal so after looking realized the spring had broken......F%^& so rode to the pits to see if anyone could help there happened to be someone from crank brothers who told me to go to their tent and I could get some help,so I busted my butt to get there only to find no one home(he was racing in the race that was going on).
So I had no other choice than to race 1 legged(since I couldn't clip in)
I started on the front row but since i wasn't confident I just faded back so I could get a feel for riding with 1 foot clipped in.
I wound up 15th which was better than I thought.

On Sunday I felt real good about having a top 10,after my race on sat the guy at crank brothers rebuilt my pedal..so it was good to go.Another front row start, this time I was able to be aggressive and get to the front 7 or 8 which made me feel good after about 3/4 th's of a lap I started getting dropped,then a nice group(6 or 7 ) caught me including Dan Lach from Zephyr,I was able to ride with that group for awhile then it splintered but was able to keep Dan and a couple other riders with in a few seconds,I couldn't get back on.
I wound up racing with a rider from Columbus who is a UPS driver(I've raced him in the Cap City races I've done) there where parts of the course where he was faster but other parts I was then on the last lap at the little run up he bobbled and I was able to get around him and actually increased the gap at the finish.

USPS-4
UPS-4
After turning myself inside out to hold onto the front group,then back to Dan's group I was disappointed with another 15th place...but OH Well it was more fun than I had all year on the bike...WOOHOO!!!!

THANKS Geoff

I ordered new tires on Monday and got them on Thursday and they were very noticeable I could out corner a lot of the guys but just didn't have the legs on the acceleration out of the corners
