Stay tuned for a race report in the next couple of days. Spencer and I are going to Rome, GA to do this weekend’s Ga Cup. Plus, they have 2/3 races: so we’re hoping for some good results.
Oh and check this out. Podium. From last weekend.
On another note Wes and I both did the BMW performance center crit last night. He hung tough for a few laps in the pro/1/2/3 before getting popped (really not a bad performance considering he did the masters/junior race earlier in the night). I unfortunately did not make either break–really didn’t feel very good (maybe a product of not riding since Tuesday after the Orr Rd pileup??) and was pretty gassed when they went. But I felt a bit better later on the last lap, countered an attack, and held the field off for 7th. Made me feel like I sorta redeemed myself anyway. Anyway, it was a quality field–good enough that Boyd Johnson (of DLP) only got 2nd–and Zac Lake of Laketraining/Stockman Oil got 6th (I haven’t actually seen the official results yet–these two and mine are the only placings that I know.)
Hit up DT G-Vegas afterwards—-only ok. Greenville isn’t necessarily all that it’s cracked up to be. Or, at least, I didn’t think so. Bit boring really.
Oh and check this out: secyclingnews.com . It’s a website (only just beginning) devoted to the Southeastern Racing scene (and founded by a friend and collegiate teammate of mine). Great idea really!! I think that it’s really going somewhere. On another note I offered to have our team post a diary on the site (as he has a few other riders doing)…it’s a great way to get our name out their.
Best, Boykin.
p.s. today has sucked–got a flat tire while doing a recovery ride on the tt bike (1/2 inch gash). Had no tube, and noone around to give me a ride. So I had to ride the 3.5 or so miles home on a flat rear on the (already) squirrelly tt bike. Driftin’ son!
