All Road Weekend

I was very close to winning the Early Bird Criterium.

On Saturday the Early Bird Road Race was pretty epic this year. The roads were very wet and very dirty, which turned all the Road bikes into filthy machines. There was rain in the beginning of the race, which made things feel extra challenging. Too bad I cam off up the long steep climb on course, or I feel my result could have been really strong. Instead I finished 9th place. Sunday was the Early Bird Criterium race. I felt a little sluggish early, but as the racing went on I felt solid. In the end I worked into a good position and had a crack at the win. I lost the sprint to one of America's best sprinters Daniel Halloway of Team Bissell. I was pleased with my ride and am wanting more....
