A Trip up the Mogollon

Today we went bike racing in Silver City up to the Mogollon. This was the first day that I have raced with the team, it was awesome. We rode really well as a team and everything went good.

To elaborate on this we had Spotti and Workman make numerous perfect feeds from the car all day long. They kept us fueled and ready to get the job done. Nick, Phill, and Shaggy kept us out of the wind and up in the front of the field. The stage is set up to where it is mostly flat until the last five miles of the race where you take a right hand turn and go up to the finish. This is where the race really started. When we hit the wind going up the hill Nick kept me in the front group and kept my legs fresh for the final climb. From the help of others I was able to have ony of my best days climbing and finshed 18th out of the field. Rolf was not far behind in 28th.

It was a great day of racing and am looking forward for more to come.
