Home Town Racing

This past weekend I gave road racing another try by participating in the Georgia Cup Chattanooga event. It was a 3 stage race, but decided to just race Saturdays events, the Crit and the TT and help with the event on Sunday. I also had teammate Beth from Nashville spend the weekend with me. Beth was an awesome house guest, a great person and tolerated my drugged out, funnel wearing, lack of bladder control dog incredibly well. She's also a very talented rider!!

Our time trial start times on Saturday morning were some of the first. Felt ok and finished in the mix. The crit was a different story. The course was .75 miles and included a jaunt between two building that created a weird wind wall. I was in a bad spot in the pack and got slammed off the back of the pack. Bummer. I was able to catch some others who were off the bad, only to find they were teammates and screwed me over! It was a great learning experience and fun. I am ready to try again!!
