Yesterday i had the opportunity to take part in the first Mn Mtb Series race of 2010. leaving my moms place in Plymouth the weather was looking bad. when i got to Salem hills is was sprinkling. that sprinkling quickly turned into a thunder and lightning storm. the sport class race was delayed and hour and a half, and they ran a short lap to take less time. this is one time im glad to be a comp rider. the sport rides had a hell of a race as i saw many torn derailleurs and other mechanical s due to the mud.
by the time my race started at 2:30 as opposed to 1:15 the sun came out and it got hot! we raced full laps instead of sports reduced length, however we raced 3 laps instead of 4. this year the series decided to run all single speeders in the first wave. this was awesome. for once i was able to get a good start and race my race instead of getting stuck behind the slower geared riders. Aaron Peterson and i played cat and mouse for the first two laps. on the 3rd lap i caught and dropped him. he finished 33.4 seconds behind me taking second place in comp single speed. that means i took 1st!
Very well done! I only saw you at the start.
