Nationals day two - men's 70-74

  T



The first day of racing was at least good for one person on the team- that would be me in the 70-74 age group. Last year from the back row I managed to ride to 18th. This year from the same third row position I made it to 10th, my first nationals top-10. The course was as it was the day before- fun and challenging and not everyone's cup of tea. I did see a few crashes and some pretty random errors in riders around me and tried to capitalize on others mistakes as I knew they would do the same if it were me making the errors. Luckily, I had a nearly error free ride and was able to put the power down the whole 5 laps. If the nationals are here next year I am tempted to return as they did a super job of making a fun course and a very low key, low drama environment.
