Hello from Missoula Montana! The sun is out and it is early afternoon … I better finish this blog. So yea! Last night was a good race for me with room for improvement. I think the leaders can hear me right behind them. On Tuesday I went out to Pattee Canyon to practice and tore a muscle (yep, the same one as last year). This year I have learned my lesson and I went easy with it wrapped up. I didn't dismount at a hundred miles an hour but instead slowed before each barrier.
At the start I was able to get up at the back of the front group. A couple pesky riders would do everything in their power to get by me and slow down. So the leaders rode away at one point. When I finally discharged those pests I went to work and got within a minute of the lead group, picking off the ones that got dropped.
I worked my way to third place at the end and won a six pack of Trout Slayer (a beer). I am moving on up! [check out map of course]
Its hard to tell if the Montana Cycling is going to hold it's cyclocross races as a series when you look at their site (ok, looking for links I see they updated it as I was writting this). I was able to talk to Montana Cycling's President John Weinrich and I asked him about it. He said yes and also , "I think there is enough in the budget for small prizes at the end of the season".
