Lightning Velo Cycling Classic

My first race for 2007 was at the Lightning Velo Sprint event. It seems as though everytime this event comes around I'm usually ill. I only rode because my 'good' friend, Travis started to call me names because I was not going to race; I had a fever and pretty much felt like crap.

Anyhow, I did 12.0 in the 200M, a horrible time especially on a 92" gear. My first ride was against some Polish cyclist. That whole race seemed like a big blur but I held my ground. He passed me on the apron and was DQ'ed. A technical victory.

My second ride was against Travis; my friend, training buddy and I consider him a brother. No need to describe the ride, he won. I thought it was my last race but no, I had to ride the 5th - 8th ride. All I wanted was for the day to end. I felt like crap and wanted my bed. I placed 7th, I think.

So, one week later and no training, my venture to the track continues on Saturday 3rd February. Lots of cool projects coming up and more will be posted shortly.
