So I graduated high school which at the time didn't mean much, but I think it's finally starting to hit me. I have decided to take some time off school and pursure cycling. So thats that as far as education.....Now on the cycling side of things I've did a few races since I last updated. I did a tough mountian race called Roan Groan. The road race didnt go so well, but it did finish on an 8mile climb which doesnt exactly suit me. A redeamed myself in the tt by getting 3rd, and went one better in the crit the next day with a 2nd place finish. Even got a bottle of beer on the podium! Unfortunatly my coach Steve Carpenter was quick to claim it as his split. No doubt he deserved it. He did a hell of a job setting me up for the sprint. After that I put in another hard 2 weeks of training then this past weekend raced Avery Trace.
Avery Trace is a race with around 5-6 1mile hard climbs. Its a really tough race and we had a pretty damn good field. I ended up 9th in the rr, which I was happy with, then 6th in the crit. No steller results, but I can tell each race I am getting stronger. Now I'm head to the cabin with some good friends to get in a hard week of riding before the important races begin.
This is what I got coming up.

I'll keep everyone updated,
