Thanksgiving point




















Getting the congrat for the 5th place

Making the Fast turn at 38mph with the help of a good tail wind and smooth pavement!!!










The low down!!! With the first prime called out I jumped on someone's wheel and jumped with about 200 meters. I won the prime. The second Prime was called out and I went with a move and I came through in first and tried to go for it but someone came around me, I sat up and spun my legs out. With 4 laps to go in the race Chuck Collins went to the front and had the pace high. 2 laps to go Chuck blew up and Mark S went of with Uhl from boise and they stayed away tell 1/2 lap to the finish. With them back in pack. A sportsbaseonline rider attacked with me on his wheel I was in perfect position for the sprint. Coming in to the last corner in second I had already been in that position and knew what needed to be done. With ten meters i looked back and saw nothing. The arms up in the air I came across the line at 39.2 with 1 finger up on both hands thrusting back and forth in the air.

fighting it out for the sprint... 2nd in the pack 9th on the day

Hell of the North


It was truely a day in a frozen hell. After being sick all week I was having a really hard time breathing in the race so I pulled out thinking that it might help me get better quicker. But Sam had an epic day beating Burke S. (navigators rider) in a sprint that peaked at 372 watts(wow)but getting second on the day. Jason M. also had a great ride winning the 3's off the front from lap 1 of 8.

East Canyon Road Race



Other weekend of being off the front. Today the race has a climb, that is real steep in the first Five miles. My legs where not feeling the greatest so I went in the first attack of the day so I could be off the front and make it over the climb. The legs started to open up and really felt good going up the climb I set the tempo for the majority of the way. We made the decent into the small town of Henderson where we ran into so fresh crap on the road and a bunch of cows being moved down the road. We made it by with the help of the Police escort and went on our way. At the turn around we started the time to see when we saw the peloton. 4:30 we saw the field we had over a nine minute lead on them. We kept on rotating keeping everyone on the front for a little bit at a time when we made it back to Henderson the cows where gone but there was more crap in the road. We started the big climb back towards the finish none of had really strong legs it seemed to me I was just rolling it just to keep everyone in a little pain. About 4k out we started to play cat an mouse someone went and I covered but my legs cramped I knew it then I was screwed. With 800 meters to the Finish line it was over I had nothing when the attacks went. 4th on the day not bad for thinking I was not going to make it over the first climb.
