Back to full time riding!

Well xc is finally over. I had a very poor display at state, but oh well. I did a 3hr mountain bike ride today, in the North GA mountains. It was great! The fall colors are awesome, and the views were really good. I'm so glad I live in this area. Now that xc is over it's full time bike training now. Which is good, I'm ready to hit it hard.
I'll write more later,

If anyone needs a coach hit him up. He got me in the best shape of my life this year, where I was able to get 2 podiums at nationals, a top 10 at Fitchburg, and a stage win!!!! He works for www.kingdomsports.net
This is the same coaching group that coaches Nate Brown, and Ben Gabardi,
so hit them up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also our high school cross country won region this past thursday. I got 12th in the meet and ran a solid 17.44 for 5k. Next weekend is our state meet thn xc is over (THANK GOD!!) Thats all I know for now,

THE SEASON IS NOW OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I had my last race of the year this past weekend.......I was out of shape an felt like crap the whole weekend......nevertheless i had fun. The first day i raced juniors and pros.....the junior race was actually really hard. I got in the winning break that had Andy Baker(3rd in 17/18 crit nats) and Alder(Hottubes dude) and tyler(a strong dude from VA) well Alder an Andy started attacking jumping....an giving my poor form, i popped......then chilled in the pack, and misjudged the sprint and got 3rd in the field sprint, which was good enough for 5th overall cause tyler got popped out of the break to.......in the pro race which has craig lewis in it.......i went on a flyer and got a 50 dollar prime(CHA-CHING)....my teammate Geri Mewett got 2nd in the race which was a huge result for the team.......The next day I just did the juniors......I felt like complete garbage the whole race, but thankfully it came down to a field sprint and this time a timed it right getting a win in my last race of the year!!!! So I was happy to get a W this weekend considering my form.....but now its time to take some time off an the start good old base training.......oh yea i brought home like 250 dollars(CHA CHING)!!!!!!!!

A Great Ride!

On Monday I left my house an headed out on an epic journey. My parents were camping with some friends by brass town bald. So I decided I would ride there. It was great riding and great weather. I did a similer ride in the winter, but this one was a little easier. It was still epic. I got a total of 5 climbs, and 5:30hrs. My last race of the year is this weekend. Its kinda going be a get together or next years team, which is going to turn heads! I'll write more later,

update

well i just now have start training on a regular basis again. I did the US100K an just finished in the pack, which was one hell of a workout (27mph avg for 100k). I'm starting to get into a little shape, I just don't want to embarrass myself for the crits in OCT. I'm am also running CC. I'm not doing so well right now, I have been injured so I havent been running so much, but hopefully I will get into shape soon enough. So it's looking like next year the Hincapie team is gonna have a full fledge junior team. Just to name a few big names that might come....Ty Magner (GA cat 2 crit champ, and like 2 top tens at nats) and Ben Gabardi (tt, and crit nat. champ!) There are others to that are looking into the team, but I'm already excited about next year!!!
