Looks like I have to catch-up blogging to do.

Wirth Classic Oct 12th. They finally posted the results. I did not have a good starting position, probably around 5 rows back. The course had one open stretch that allowed riders to pass, and one place just before the finish that had a short open space.
I did what I could to push myself forward. Looks like I placed 11th in the Men’s B race and 3rd in my age group.

Hudson Oct 19^th.

It was nice to have the B race split into age groups. There were 13 riders and I was able to get a front row at the start. The start was a little odd. The woman went first then two minutes after that the official just blew the whistle (no ready, set or even a count down). I found myself in 3^rd place going into the second half of the first lap behind Bill K. Moved into 2nd at the first barrier and then into first exiting the first set of chicane. Paul McKinney was a favorite to win the race but luckily for me he had chosen to ride his single speed with to small a gear and was spinning out. I passed him about 10 yards before the pit area where he had a team mate waiting with a bike with gears. At the moment I just sprinted to get a gap and rode like a mad man to keep the gap until the finish. On each lap I got to look back in several places to see if my gap was holding, and it was great to have all the Crossnicas and family cheering me on.

It was great to win a race again.

I will post some video of the C and B race soon. Ladric
