Dublin Cycling Classic

Thank you Jesus for the abundant gifts giving to us today! God is awesome! Caylin was asleep the whole day in my Mom's arms at the race. Thank you Jesus, Mom, Dad, Becky and Caylin.

The race was one of the best places to race! Jay and everyone that helped thank you so much! Now what can I say about the racers. Thanks to all that went today. As for the ones who didn't show up you missed out big time!

Savage Hill Attacks Hurt the field again! Tim was the first to get away and Sterr was on his wheel! I bridged up, but the field would not let Savage Hill take over! Chris took off and I went with him but again we were stopped.

I took off to take pressure off my teammates! Sterr and Tom joined later. Team tactics were played around for a bit then we lapped the field. Our team then tried to catch a three man break, but it was too late.

We held off the other three thanks to my Dad for the time gaps, also Tim and Chris for pulling us around the last 9 laps. With 2 laps to go Chris and Tim could not do anything wrong. They were Perfect! These guys are awesome! This was the 2nd time they have led me out in a sprint. I wish I would have beat rose at the line but he didn't do any work the last 15 laps or so. Since he was a lapped rider that still gave me the win! Who is this guy he can sprint!

Fun race nice course and no one was trying to do anything stupid in the pack. I felt really good in the last few laps of this race and am kicking myself for not trying to move up more on the back stretch of the course on the final lap. I had the legs for it, but I'm not sure I would have had the lungs left for the sprint. Thanks to the Yenchar's for watching my son during the race. Jeremy you have a sweet little girl, it was a pleasure meeting your family.

Wow...you know I thought today was extremely hard...mentally and mechanically. I'm not sure if I'll ever figure out the stratey of crit racing, when to jump how to jump and how fast to jump. I'm sure the more I race with Jeremy and Fish I'll figure it out. I hope so...I'm running out of time.
Also I think this race would've been a little easier if my rear brake was rubbing against my wheel, which i discovered after the race had finished. So I hope that was the reason.....cause if its not I'm in for a hurting at Toona. Anyways congrats to Grimm for another day of SavageHill Domination!

Much better race for me. Break Away Cycles had 5-6 riders in this race and controlled the pace and all breaks. Came down to a sprint finish which I positioned myself poorly. I keep learning something every week and am starting to feel competitive. Nice race Jay.

just one of those days....... Where are all of the cyclist in Ohio?
