2008 Virginia Cyclocross Series Final (Darden Towe) December 6th
Langly Speedway jrs race
well im posting alittle late beause i have been sick i pushed my self so hard to win that my immune system shut down on me and by the end of the next day i had tonselitis, strep throat, and a inner and outer ear infection which has caused me to be deaf in my right ear and i will not go away for a few weeks. but back to the race well i started my day with driving over to alans house we carpooled up to the race we stoped at bodos to get our food and started driving we got there pretty early but not early enough to see eric do his trackrace it was about 20 minutes after we looked around for awhile to take in the atmosphere it was 11:00 my race wasnt till 1:15 so we had time to kill we watched races and hung out then i was up i had warmed up did three laps on the track prior to the race we lined up there was five real contendors and about 15 really young kids on mt bikes with platform peadals there was even a kid racing in flip flops so us 5 jrs decided we would try to take it to a sprint end. we started and i lead the first lap and the next we rode a few just checking each other out then a young kid made the first attack i jumped onto his wheel and them the rest caught up later on i went onto the attack getting clear for about a lap and a half then i was caught and the second i was caught there was an attack from a fat frogs jr he was very strong we caught him a lap later then the last 3 laps came around we were all together all tired from the attacking when on the last lap the fat frogs kid attacked again with only half a lap to go we all got dropped and he took the over all win with second and third taken i sprinted all out and thats the picture i posted to take 4th with jake king taking 5th i placed first overall in my cat. after the race i went and talked to ben king he was prepairing for his race the pro 1,2,3 during his race he was going from the front to the back just messing around when a $100 prize lap came around ben jumped on the front and took it with ease in the last three laps ben attacked getting a break of just himself he held the entire pro 1,2,3 for three laps to win the race by half the track. later on the last race of the day the cat 5’s went out with alan riding near the front he dropped to the middle for most of the race untill a series of harsh attacks went of the front with alan hurting in the final turn he was sadly dropped but he finished with pride supporting the crc team. well thats the day in a nutshell. ps i skipped erics race because he already explained it.
