Race recaps or maybe a few pictures










The only Photos before batteries died.
Another good course at John Bryan State park Lou had a fine 4th place and everyone else had a fun timeI did beat Mr. UPS driver at the finish.
The next weekend was another cold day but was made better by the mud from the rain a day before with this course in Lexington having a lot of off camber turns there were lots of slipping and sliding again Lou saves the day...shows up 10 min before the start rides to the start as his warmup then proceeds to finish 5th.Mark loves his fuzzy gloves.








Up next the state championships in NW Columbus a great venue,it was held at a soccer,softball field it was mainly flat except for a small rise on 1 end(it seemed when they graded the ball field they just pushed the dirt to 1 end)and the promoters used every bit of the hill...straight up,down,off camber up ,down a very nice course..ok I liked it because Iwon my race but thats beside the point.I only had a few photos of Jeni,the rest were of the elites.Lou had a hub seize up right before the start which he was able to get a new wheel and get back in line as the whistle blew,but after a lap he had a slow leak and dropped out,Gumby,Mark,Dan all had steady races as usual,since I've been getting crushed in the elite masters i decided to race the 3/4 masters and just see where I could finish,It started fast but slowed down after a few minutes which was very manageable at one time I was 2nd overall but I crashed (which Jeni captured very nicely),then riding around in 5th or 6th overall right behind the top2 in the 45+ i crashed again but still finished 1st Ohio rider...WOOHOO Dan didnt ride enough so he signed up for the elite masters along with me and Lou.I had a nice race with Mr.UPS and another rider most of the race with alap to go we caught Dan from Zephyr who wasnt feeling all that well(at least until the last 10 yards where got me at the line for 17th).Only 3 more races left:(
