kenosha crit

today was the kenosha crit at the kenosha industrial park. it was a pretty good race for the mars junior squad. I got third nate got fourth and gage wasn't feelin to good came in at tenth. the mars squad just sat on and let other teams pull again. there were several attacks by other teams but mars was there to cover them. besides the attacks here and there it was a slow easy going race. when it got down to the last lap is when this race got interesting. As we were going through the final turn i had got pushed to the very back of our small little group. As i went to sprint up through the group nate and another kid from team multi-sport were mixing it up. as i went to pass them they bumped and the kid from team multi-sportbumped sending him into me. that was just as i was about to try to go around aaron harison for second. it messed up my race but no one went down so that was good. After the race me, kaity, and sarah went for a mountain bike ride out at pets. It was still pretty muddy but we didn't care. we ended up getting lost since this was one of the first times out there this year. we ended up seeing the trail across the river and went for it. my first river crossing ever!

whitnall

Today was another awsome race by the MARS junior squad. At the start of the race nate had some difficulty clipping in and was forced to catch back up. After he caught up the entire junior squad sat in and just let the other riders to pull. Not much happened after that until i sprinted thinking it was the last lap. I thought it was the last lap so i sprinted and then put my hands up to find out i had three to go. i was able to get backin and end up in a nice second place with gage taking another gold on the year and nate cuising in for fifth.

today was just an easy ride. just a quick out to pets did a couple hill climbs then came back. not really pushing it just out there to get the legs pumping for the race tomarrow at whitnall park. should be a good one.GO TEAM MARS!!

rain rain go away

today was just an easy ride. it was raining here in kenosha and gage wanted to get use to riding in the rain incase it was rainy on saturday for the race at whitnal park. any way we just span around my neighborhood for a little while.the rain was clod so it was really short. but it was good we got the rain riding experience before the race just in case. its also looking like were gonna get all three of our team MARS juniors out there for saturday so we should be placing high. thats all gotta go eat some pancakes. bye

good ride

today me and gage went out and did a pretty decent ride. we started from my house and went out to parkside to do a few laps. after that we headed out for pets to do some hill climbs. we did about 4 or 5 of those before heading out to the super seceret team MARS crit course. we did some laps there and were still feelin good so we rode to my grandparents house in Racine. overall a 30 mile ride. just training for whitnall this weekend! plus i got some more of my pics from sunday.

new blog

YEA!! i finally got a blog. anyway just yesterday we were at brown deer park where me and gage got the one two finish(gage first, me second) after a beautiful block by nate. It was on the last lap and nate told me to go. i went with gage right on my wheel. as we were coming up to the finish gage took over and got it. nate rolled in for a nice 5th in age group and eigth overall. today we were in madison for the second time this year, but this time it was super boring scince there was only 7 people. me and gage once again got the one two finish. we were off the front caleb brow from IScorp. me and gage had some fun with him. we continuously attacked and counter attacked making him chase each one. eventually we got off and held for me first gage second. unfortunately nate couldn't make it today. i also raced the citizen 5's with my trustworthy photo man gage taking some sweet pics. anyway i fell off the back of the main group on the second lap but hopped back in after being lapped and then got dropped after an acceleration from the group.(pic is from last week when i took first and gage and nate got dropped)
