Sat. River falls in the masters we had 4 go up the road and all the teams sat on the front controlling it. I stayed with all the attacks and positioned myself to far back for the finish and ended up 21st.
Sun. Donaldson center 6 laps and on lap 1 a guy went up the road. Lap 3 the attacks started and I was with them all. We would get away and then everybody would play games and we would get caught. Lap 4-5 the big boys started and on the last attack I was trapped and thought it would come together but 3 got away. The last lap was fast and with half a lap to go 4 got of the front and where able to stay away. I got 2nd in the feild sprint only because I sat up and ended 10th overall. It looks like I am starting the season strong and with a new bike and attitude. I am going to win!!!!!!!!!!!

Survived the !st weekend
Went to Greenville spring series to see what kind of shape I am in. Sat. at Fork Shoals RR I went with two others on a break away. I dropped a chain and we got caught. I pulled back on and tried two more attacks. I was spent at the finish and came in behind the sprint. Sun. in the masters race at Donaldson I stayed with the group since there were several teams and all the big names. I stayed with all the attacks and with 2 k to go got gapped and pulled the group back up and as soon as I got back in the leaders they attacked again and I tried holding on but fell of the back of the leaders 700 meters to go and came in 21st. My results where not good but I felt good and strong so now I know were I am and after this snow melts I can get outside and step it up.
