saturdays race

on saturday i had about the worst race of the season. but gage did absolutley spectacular and ended up with a well deserved first in state and third overall.i ended up fifth after trying to go off with the two michigan kids. right at the start one of the michigan kids took off and it was up to me and his friend to chase. we caught right away and we were off.i accidentally let one of them get away and then the other one jumped me and he got back up. when gage finally caught up to me i road with him and one other until a few laps later when he made his move on the top of the hill. i had nothing so i didn't even try to go with him. i eventually caught the other kid and we rode together until the end and on the last lap two kids we were lapping got in my way but not his and he got away right before the finish.

track

this day of track sucked. some new kid came and i wasn't watching him and he took off and i was all boxed in so i just had to sit in and take second. in the second race even though chazz missed the entire first round and the registration had been closed for like an hour they still let him race. so i sucked at tempos anyway so i went all out for the first sprint, didn't get it, and dropped off the back.

tuesday

today me and gage went out for a nice little secret crit course ride. we thought out our plan for this weekend and one of the three plans we have is bound to work. as for me this weekend i plan on going as hard as i can for every single hill climb point. im so gunna win the climber thingy.

saturday

headed up early to the WORS race and right when i got there, i had only been up for like thirty minutes, i went for a pre-ride lap with nate and jay. the course was really fun which was all about to change. right when we got done with our lap it started to rain and it never stopped. i race at five and it started raining at 10. by the time it was my race it was all mud. which was all in my favor. i rocked it and got a first so i was happy. nate also ended up with a first and that two in a row for both of us.

nate

i cant believe this kid is my team mate. just look at him.......just kidding. funny picture though.

wednesday

me and gage and samuel just went ridin around downtown. it was pretty fun. then i slept over at gages and we watched the ring.

tuesday

in the morning i went to my grandmas to say good by to my aunt and uncle who live out in seattle. we just barely got back in time to eat get ready and then ride. me and gage went out to pets and sanders. after the ride it was all rest until track. in track i got a second and a first. in consolation some dude almost took me out so i had to basically stop so that i didn't get taken out. so i ended up being down two laps. but it was fun.

sunday

im writing about it a little late but yesterday was the wors race at crystal ridge. at the beginning it was looking good as i was on the kid who would usually beat me but and i stayed right with him my entire first lap. he got away from me on the big finishing hill and when i saw him going slow through the mud i chased him down hard. i went flying up to the kid who was in first place. he was going really slow in the mud so i caught up to him fast and went right by him. i never saw him again and so i finished first without a lot of difficulty. my brother taylor raced and was actually doing pretty good until he broke his derailuer hanger.

saturday

today me my dad and my brother all went out for the pre-ride at crystal ridge. the only bad thing is that they keep us citizen racers out of all the fun stuff. and either that course is really short or i just think it is after the 14 mile 24/9 course. race tomarrow and then my sisters party. schould be fun.

friday

wasn't planning on doing anything today but i ended going out on a road ride by myself just over at pets. it was a nice 20 mph ride. it was super windy so that slowed me down in some places but besides that it was fun to be back on the road bike after like 2 weeks.

thursday

today was another mountain bike ride wit jeremey gage and jerry. it was pretty fun besides the incredible hottness. i was sweating sooo bad after yesterdays ride. but it was good preperation for this weekend up at crystal ridge. i think i'm ready to pull out a nice hard ride there.

tuesday

today was track and a ride at pets with gage. we did just an hour or so of riding but that was good since i just got done with 24/9 and had track at night. i did six races at track. i did juniors, a big juniors race, fours, and consolation. in the juniors points race i was 2 laps down. then in the juniors danish(win and out) i got third but that was all i was trying to get. i just sat third places wheel and then when it was our turn to sprint i jumped him and got the third. in the fours danish i knew i wasn't going to do very well so i just let what happened happen. in the fours tempo i was dropped fairly early. in the juniors tempo i got second with 4 points even though i would have gotten third because chazz had five but he pulled out early. in consulation i was 2 laps down with a huge field.
