    Sunday was another great day of racing at the Greenville Fall Cycling Extravaganza. And it was another podium for me, one step closer to the top but not quite there.

  • Greenville Fall Cycling Extravaganza Day 1

    Quick update from Greenville, raced hard tonight, made it onto the podium in 3rd place. Small but tough field!

    Well, I guess my season isn’t quite over yet! Today, I won the Pro/1/2 division of the Alabama State Time Trial. The victory should have gone to Mike Olheiser who had already caught and passed me, but he had a flat tire and had to turn around. I was 3 seconds off of the fastest…

  • Downtown Chattanooga Crit (River Gorge)

  • Chris Thater Memorial Race

    UPDATE – Nevermind, I made the mistake of taking the last flight out of Birmingham. The flight has a flat tire, which they are replacing in about an hour, which means I miss my connection to NY. There is no way I can make it to the race in time! I’m privileged to be racing…
