Gloucester Cross 10/13

Well, every race can't be a tape to tape run. Today's "New England Worlds" was as hard, fast and tough as ever. I took the hole shot up the hill, felt pretty good in the first half of the first lap, but then spent a lot of time just drifting back. By the third lap I was in good position and starting to move back up. The course was similar to most years, but the most notable difference was only one section (the barriers) that forced riders off their bikes. On three different sections, we would hammer for over 400 yards, perfect time for the 50!!! Gary returned from the West coast and rode a good race, finishing 15th, I finsihed up 33rd, while Roy, Eric, and Keith were a bit further back. With over 100 racers taking to the line, just finishing this day is a feat. Kudos to Sally and Cris in the Women's elite, and all the other racers who came out today.
