UNR Road Race

4/1/07 Mens Collegiate A Road Race out at red rock 80miles of fun in the wind. I had fun in the begining, I would go to the front and take a pull just so I could remember what it was like to be up front again. I felt special (short bus special), Max Jenkins from giant/cal strawberries and myself would take turns. Long story short there were attacks after attacks, I hung in as long as I could but it was too much for me. I ended up riding in with Mel Maalouf which was great I needed a tow in. I just didnt bring enough food. Mel had a lot of good advice to give me.......I am all ears.

UNR Campus Crit 4/5

On 3/31 I did the cat 4/5 UNR campus crit. I was pretty excited to be in a race of my level. The best part about it was I felt super smooth. When ever I wanted a wheel it was mine for the taking. I felt very strong. 20mins into the race I was sitting 7 or 8 back and the person in front of me drove me right into a pothole. At the last second he eracticly jerks to the side to avoid it. From what I have learned you just dont do big abrupt moves like that......so it goes I stayed stright and went into the pothole to earn a flat. Didnt have any wheels in the pit so there goes my chance at glory for the day.......oh well next saturday is the island view crit.

Berkeley Road Race

On 3/24/07 I did the Berkeley Collegiate RR. My knee was still bugging me after my Cold Springs TT so I ended up pulling myself after the two of six laps. They call it the McEwan Climb....I was mustering a cadance to the drum of 50 up that road. That was just too much on my knee, theres no need to hurt myself.....lots of racing ahead.

Windy day in cold springs

Well I have to say its nice to race the wheelmen events again. It has been tough to tell if I am getting better due to the fact that I am racing with the mens A's in the collegiate series. The goal for the night was to hold my power at 300.....almost achieved that.
