Great Morning to be a Cyclist

Today Tuesday April 21 was what I will call a great day to be a cyclist. It is time to get back after it. Time to call the season game on. I will start with this perspective. I have really worked hard over the winter months to do an early run of spring mtb races. My whole point of doing this was to have fun racing but also to try and qualify for Nationals (which is not that hard to do by the way) which I did. I have been taking it easy for a few weeks and working long. Whats the point. The point is I am at the back hanging for my life.

Todays report will be short then. There were some guys taking pulls..... I saw El Jeffe take a monster pull up loving the first time. Russ-tic, T the T, and Dobi jr went with him. This was and impressive move as it looked like that might be a tough break to real in. At the point of shatter it looked like we got it back together. Anyway everyone took pulls again and back to the hills we go. We got blocked by a car on loving and on westshore El Jeffe took a big ole dig. I started in a lame effort to chase but at the top of the hill two tar paving trucks were blocking the road. El Jeffe swung left and I hit the sidewalk. 90 degrees at 20 mph is a bit intimidating so through the yard I went. The grass was wet and the pavement was not so I was a little concerned about my choice. Anyway I took a couple of pulls coming into the sprint but I don't really know who won so congrats to our victor, to the rest we will take our spoils.
