Stage 3 : Thursday Night at Buck
Another quick update. I've been too busy
with this stage race to write too much! Tonight was a great day for a mountain
bike race. The course was fast and loose. No real hard climbs, some good
singletrack, but sandy. I had a terrible start and actually missed my pedal for
the first time since I can remember. Total beginner move! So I chased Kuzzy,
Brendan, Fisher and Hanson into the woods. I started making moves when I could,
but it was hard to pass. Finally on the paved climb part I was able to attack
and get away. I got a pretty good gap on lap 2 but then a stick got really
jammed in my spokes. It took a while to dislodge it. By the time I did I was
chasing Brendan. I caught him by the end of the lap and attacked again and got
away for the win. The stage race is going pretty well with 3 wins in a row. Next
up is a 40k TT on Saturday. I'll enjoy my rest day tomorrow. I'll try to get
some pics up on the blog for you folks that just hate reading! Thanks for
checking in.
