Hello from Cheesetown! As I sit here typing this up, I'm looking at rain/thunderstorm activity going on here in Sheboygan, WI. Not sure what tonight's race will bring with this weather. Cross that bridge when we get there.
Last night, we were blessed with some great racing, weather and fun. I jumped in the Giro 'd Grafton as part of the Tour of America's Dairyland. This particular race had a solid 10k in cash winnings as it's part of the USA Crit series and brought out the major crit junkies! That being said, it was a fast race. 140+ men lined up for the start with about 95 of those able to finish. Several unsuccessful breaks here and there and finally the elastic broke as 7 guys got off the front....it would prove to be the winning break AND.....I wasn't in it. Congrats to my Aussie friend, Clay Murfet on taking 1st place. I ended up taking a quiet 37th place. A bit frustrating as my legs are feeling so good, but a good thing as Nationals next week in Augusta, GA is the focus. I rode aggressive and strong and that's all I can ask for. Most importantly, I had the best fan base in the world: my mom and dad, Isaac, Craig and Sarah, Ella bean, and E-Sut's. So fun to be racing in front of my family. Great pics below.
