Rather than race the Comp race and complete 3 laps at 1.15 in the afternoon when it would probably be 85 and sunny, I went with the option of the morning Sport class with fellow Crossniacs Mike and Erik.

 

We all lined up at the back, Mike and Erik on single speeds and me being in the 45 + group. As expected, Mike sprinted down the side of the field and as I can not help myself, I chased after him. Some where in the first 50 yards I must have passed Mike, he reappeared just before the Bridge Loop on the second lap. We completed the last lap together until the last descent were youth got a gap and managed to move up a sport as Mike past a rider in the last 3 feet!

I finished 1^st in my age group and 17^th overall. Mike was in Second in his age group and 15^th. Erik took it easy for his first race on a new collar bone.

CJ…How did you race go?
