9/14 Race Report

markking's picture

Went to Petersburg Sunday to wrap up the year at a wayyyyyy to hot crit (especially after spending two weeks freezing in Alaska) . The masters race split on the 2nd lap , then on the 4th lap a group with Dan , Collins , K Johnson and me ended up with around 30 seconds . We lapped the field with around twenty to go and the started beating up on one another . dan and I were taking turns jumping ….i got caught at 10 to go and he went but unfortunately the other two made it across to him . I wound up 4th . The 123 was a race of attrition in the heat …I think I wound up 12th .

State RRace

My big rear end certainly wasn’t so aggressive on such a hilly course . The race was one of attrition as a each lap attacks on the toughest of the two climbs caused big splits in the field . At around 20 miles to go a group of three rolled off the front with 9 of us chasing . There was a small field of probably 10 chasing us that at that point. With around three miles left I got away with two other fellas and we held it until the end as Dan aggravated the chase …. man , i was glad that was over .

chicago crit & superweek

I had a mtg in Milwaukee last thurs so I did a couple of the superweek races and finished up racing with (behind) Chris Horner and Fred Rodriguez in a ProAm in downtown Chicago . The superweek races were really fast with around 100 riders in each field . I was in the money ….not quite enough to pay for gas .

GFTL race report

Jake and I went to Richmond last Saturday to do the GFTL . Good Jr turn out – jake got 6th racing w the 18 and unders . That bean pole needs a hill or two until some muscles and whisker start to kick in .
In the masters race I was in a break w two other fellas for the last half of the race . At times I thought it would stick , then with two to go the hard charging field caught us . I grabbed a wheel at the front and managed 2nd place in the field sprint .

Kelly Cup Race Report

Jake and I made the trip to Baltimore yesterday to do the Kelly Cup . Jake did the Jr race with the 18 year olds . Needless to say it was an adventure – he ended up with a group of younger riders ending up winning the sprint for we’re not quite sure what place . It was good to see so many youngsters up there .
