Started the day off right on Saturday with a cup of the Fuel. I had most of my gear packed so I had a nice morning with a drive down to brew town for the Metro 6 hour after breakfast. I got a nice pit and put up the easy up for anyone who wanted to support me for the race. The race started with a up hill ride around Russell. I was third wheel behind a Expo guy and Carlos leading down the switchbacks. Both were duo teams so I didn't care to much. The younger kid couldn't keep up with Carlos and he got all squirlly and went down in front of me. I tried to go around him in the tall grass but he feel down hill and my knee smacked him in the helmet. He said he was fine but 3 solo riders got around me so I settled in. The first solo guy past me took off and I couldn't get around the other two. When I did get around the other 2 riders I was really pressing to make up ground and I rode off trail and hit a tree. I finally settled down and started making up ground but then the rider in the lead took off again. I rode the whole race thinking I was in second but half way through the first place rider quit. Two wins in a row! I had some great support at the race from my Mom and Syd who both cheered and filled bottles. Thanks! I also wanted to give a shout out to Fuel Cafe for the great support. Look what they sent me to keep me fueled and looking good at the races.
