Chain Stretcher Course....

[IROnick]

I think the podium will be like at KSVP; Ellen, Darlene, and Maryanne. Friendliest podium ever.

Cat 1 here, where is Maurice?

Maurice rode a killer race yesterday at Nittany cross. Saw him start mid pack in a field of 100+ and work his way up to third. That guy is unbelievable!

I don't see a viscous cycle jersey anywhere in my pics, what kind of bike?

 

[gtluke]

Not a single Mtbnj jersey in all of cat 1, lame!!!

Monty in 2nd by 6 inches, he's holding back waiting to take 1st for sure.

 

[gtluke]

Speaking of lame, get back to racing nick!

Yup..that's him. Guess he went back to ss. Was running gears earlier in the season.

Holy crap mike k. Bulldog taken away in ambulance, bad crash, lucky said pool of blood on the rocks.
Lucky broke and out...

 

[IROnick]

damn that sucks. hope mike will be okay. back luck for lucky. did ryan close the gap on foco?

 

[gtluke]

No, foco beat him. I think Monty won but I'm not positive. There was only one more section of climbing, and it wasn't long, and it was tight. I can't seem much passing happening after where I was.

I have no idea how the pro guys pass each other though, they are so close in speed. Do you just wait for the one guy to trip up a bit?

 

[Pearl]

I lived!

I lived!

Can we have a re-cap thread please...

 

[Pearl]

I had a lot of thoughts in my brain, I will have a good one.

I'll say it; did they post results?

 

[xc62701]

No, foco beat him.

Yea he got me. I was riding strong for the first two laps going back and forth with Jason Clark with Roger in sight and just started to fade on the last lap. I think it was more due to the lack of drinking/feeding spots. It was really hard to get nutrition/hydration in on such a rough course. I still finished pretty strong but 21 seconds from 2nd and 19 seconds from 3rd. 4th was good for me as I kept my overall lead in the series and actually opened it up a bit. Just happy keeping all my blood inside me.

On another note the last official word about Mike Kucharski is that he had a pretty bad laceration to his hip that resulted in a good amount of blood loss and a broken pelvis. He's going into surgery shortly to repair it. Send all of your good vibes his way. He's going to need it.
