National Championships


Ok so i know I said I would update with results like a week ago but better late than never right? Well actually there wasn't much to tell. As far as the race went I was rocking, going really really fast on track to score a top ten!! That would have felt really good, but about 1/2 way through the race I had a flat tire which I could not fix I put a tear in the sidewall of my tire and without a new tire, especilally on this course, the tire would just keep flatting, so I had to pull out of the race, which was really hard to do concidering I was on the best form I had ever been on. But good news my team mate Eric Emsky won his National Championship race, so big congratz to him!!

On Sunday I raced in the Semi-pro short track race and had a solid ride for 14th nothing special but a soild race.

Now it's finally time for a break brfore the big build for Cyclocross season. I'll try and to better with the updates but no garentee. Late

MTB National Championships Day's 1&2

I set out on Tuseday to go to the mountain bike national championships, first stop was in Las Vagas to meet up with Matt and head out to Hartvard we got in at like 1am and had to take a cab out to our hotel which we thought was 7 miles away but actually turned out about 20 miles in the opposide direction we wanted to go. Then Sean, Eric and Eric's dad Peter, came down an picked us up and we headed out to the course at Mount Snow, Vermont. , and even though we are 3000 miles away it feels, alot like home because its pouring rain here everyday. It seems to rain consistantly until about 5 pm and then start to clear up. So with that said the course is super sloppy. We rode this after noon and yesterday and it has been super slick, and technical , its Awsome!
Oh man and I have to give a shout out to Jon Berlinger and the Mavic boy's they hooked us up today. New spokes for Eric and bearings for everyone. This mud is just killing all of our equiptment, we all had to check our brakes to see if we had anything left.
Well the race is tommorow, a late one at 5pm which for us will be like normal time. So I gotta fly I'll update tommorow with results. Late. I can't put up pix but I'll have some when I get back.
