My first pro race went much worse than I expected and my chain guide ended up breaking in my race run so I had to take a coaster run down the course.  Even though the race didn't go as I'd planned, I had fun at the race and am hoping to buy a new bike soon because my '06 Sunday is getting old 

Sea Otter wasn't so great for me this year, but I'll do better next race for sure.  The course was fun, but I had a pretty crappy race run and felt like I couldn't ride to save my life.  I ended up in 28th/75 in junior ex and there were also a few DNFS.  I'm hoping I'll be able to redeem myself at one of the NORBA races because I felt I could've been a lot faster. 

Saturday, 2/17 was my first race this year and it was lot of fun.  It was the first race in the CCCX DH series and it was the best course yet.  I had an ok run with a few minor screw-ups and won jr ex.  Results can be found at http://www.cccx.org/dh/2007/race1/2007_CCCX_DH_Race1Results.htm
