2009 RACE Season Ends
WOW,...
just another BLUR on the BRAIN, it went too fast. Weather outside is raging, 20 mph winds here, up to 100 mph at Donnor summit !
The 09 season was a mixed bag. I raced DH Cat 2, and was at the top end of my age bracket 49 in the 40-49 divisoin, raced against guys 10 years younger than me !
Had a blast as I have for every year I have done this thing ! Made new friends, saw old friends !
Raced in 8 DH races including the USA Cycling Nationals at Sol Vista, crashed on race run in 4 of those, including the USA Cycling Nationals :((
Eight races, 4 crashes, 2 Podiums (both at Northstar) and luckily, no injuries. Bottom line, more crashes than metals, more metals than injuries.
Highlights this year were racing at the Nationals, (always a treat, and the Sol Vista Mtn BIke Park is RAD) Attending the Gene Hamilton Better Ride DH Camp at Northstar, right along with Gregg Minnaar and a real cool finale, atte
