Barbers Ride to Live Circuit Race
Wow – it is not every day that you get a chance to race your bike on a spectacular speedway normally reserved for cars and motorcycles going well over 150mph! My top speed for the day was just over 40mph, but that was fast enough to make the podium of the Pro/1/2/3 race. It is…

Spain Park Hoover Cycling Festival Criterium

Day 2 – Downtown Greenville Cycling Classic
A little bit disappointing with how the season ended today – but I am glad I was even able to finish the race after my power meter cable came loose and was getting caught in my gears. I had to shift around in the back as it was jumping around to try to physically push…
