DIRTY SPOKES 6HR RACE AT HERITAGE PARK - ATHENS, GA MARCH 2009
DIRTY SPOKES 6HR RACE AT HERITAGE PARK - ATHENS, GA MARCH 2009 |
It was a great weekend of racing. I really enjoyed the scene - seeing friends and helping out all the racers. Fresh Bike Service served as neutral support for the race. Thanks and compliments to Tim from Dirty Spokes Productions for another awesome race.
It is great to be a part of such a quality grassroots race series.
The weather report all week was calling for cold and rainy weather. We weren't let down - it felt like 36 degrees for most of the day, plus add in the rain. I think I was wearing 5 to 6 layers by the end of the race. According to most of the riders, 'the course was running pretty tacky and hooking up better than expected but the abundance of roots was causing some good wipe outs as riders tried to push it through the adverse conditions'. Regardless of the weather there was a great showing of racers and venders - I think we all are anticipating the upcoming race season. Tim estimated the total race entries to be around 250. I think the average lap times were ranging from 1hr to an 1hr 10min; the top riders were putting in upper 40 min to +50 min lap times.
Things of note on the race:
My buddy Matt Slafkosky getting clothes lined by a briar patch. Apparently the guy behind him got it worse. Note the Pictures
A broken Gary Fischer frame
Team Mean Bean (Matt and Kelly) take second place to the Terrapin Wake in Bake Team (Jeremy and ??) Mean Bean won the series last year, looks like we are in store for another good battle
Had a great time hanging out and working with everybody. Looking forward to the next race.
Cheers,
