More racing
August was a two race month for me - First we traveled back to MT Snow for the Kenda festival - where I placed first in the 4 cross and First in the CAT 1 1-18 DH. Mount Snow puts on such a great event, we had a awesome weekend hanging out with friends, After a 3 week break we traveled to Lake Placid to race the Whiteface 5K Downhill. Last year when i raced here i was just getting back to racing after my Spleenectomy so this year I was ready for the long DH run. After a sloppy day of practice in the cold rain on Saturday, Sunday race day the sun came out and was very welcome. My start time was early in the day so the course would still be wet for my race run. Giant Bicycles was paying the fastest Amateur time of the day $200. - that was my goal to be the fastest Am. My race run was clean at one point i had to jump off and run but no big deal.
My time when I crossed the Line was 8:17 that was the Fastest Amateur time of the day - I won my class and the $200.00.
My Santa Cruz V10 was perfect thanks to my sponsors and friends...Santa Cruz Bicycles, Kirt Vories Allride Academy, Fox, Deity, Sram, MRP. DT Swiss, POC, Camel Back, WTB, Kirt, Lindsey, Travis and Lars
