two races in one weekend with a pizza party throw in the middle meant for a rough monday. the races went surprisingly well for me.in the provincials race i managed to hang with the lead group until olli decided to up the pace. this spit me out the back fairly quickly which put in no-man's-land for a few laps. i managed to bridge up to dylan and brian and dylan and i took turns at the lead until the sprint for the line. second in the 40+ and 5th overall.
as per tradition, saturday night was the annual pizza party for those who volunteered, or committed to volunteer and help with the course clean up, setup and take down.
supercross was again a spectacle to behold. the course was built for the bike handler and included, again, the fan favorite mud bog to beat all mud bogs. i was skeptical about doing well in this race having spent everything in saturday's race, but things turned out well. i big part of that was due to the fact that somehow i managed to avoid crashing on this very technical course. guys that were riding really well and always give me a run for my money (luc, allan, tom, and da
niel) all went down at one point or another, some more than once. this allowed me stay ahead and get 4th overall which was a huge surprise.

If your bread is as good as your racing I am in for a real treat! Train hard all winter. Next year is going to be fantastically competitive and lost of fun; with Dylan back in town, Johnny coming on strong (new bike next year?) Daniel joining the fray, Jared taking some interest in things other then Tri at the end of the season, The Western Canada Endurance Series, More 8-Hour races popping up, Cross growing in popularity. And sooo much more!
