Coach Battin summed it up well for the Versailles race. This state park is an awesome place to ride. Thanks, again, to Jeff & Amy for the cookout following the race.
Below is a pic I lifted from the HMBA site (credit to Paul A.) showing one of the features of the trail.
We had great results and welcomed John W to his first mt bike race. He came back smiling, so maybe he'll get some more trail time in. Kudos to all the racers where many earned podium spots!
I would just like to note after Clasen's tire busted during the race, and interesting discussion followed. It turns out one teammate, who shall remain nameless, is exceptional at power-braking. In fact, the rubber just melts away under his power. If we could all put out that kind of wattage.....In other news Denny B. is teaching the other guys how to be complete gentlemen after admitting buying roses for his lovely wife. If you ask me, I don't think he's a good teacher. During the Logansport race, I asked him to be a gentleman and carry my bike up the second run-up hill. He didn't even respond. And I think I know why with Dave McComb not far behind.
The Logansport course welcomed our PA buddy, JL. It's always good to see old friends and new ones. But the biggest surprise of the day was the first race for Melissa Rose who cleaned up the Cat 3 women's race. In fact, all the women were successful with podium spots. Congrats Mer (and me)!
I should also mention Larry Wasson who competed in both triathlons and the Logansport race. Superb effort, Larry!
I always miss some things, so feel free to comment or post. Have a terrific week and see you in Indy.
Mr. Power tells us a story while his support crew looks on.
Ever resourceful, Clasen seals the tire enough to hold air with a power bar wrapper. See the red?
