Dirty Road Race

Alrighty, this past weekend Andrew, Brian, Sean, Lee and I decided to participate in the Dirty Road Race. This was decided after a slew of phone calls the night before. It was cold and rainy, which equals lots of fun. The race started neutral until some point, it really wasn't clear. On the roads I made a small attack right away, then Lee. after a few minutes there was a group ahead with Sean and some A9Y guys. Andrew was in the middle trying to bridge, so I came out of the group and joined Andrew. Luckly for us there wasn't any clear markings on the course on when to turn and we missed the turn onto gravel. We doubled back and chased and chased and chased. Lee waited for us and helped us through the muck. We were picking off riders one by one. The start of the second lap Lee was toasted with freezing feet. Andrew and I caught up to Kim West, who convienently led us on another wrong turn. At this point Sean and Jared were off the front together and Brian was in the main pack(of like 4 other riders). Sean and Jared took a wrong turn and cut five miles of the course, what a tactic. Kim West eventually dropped out of the race and Andrew and I finished 5 and 6. I would note that we saw Lane on the course and he looked as if he was about to pass out. In the end Sean and Jared were DQed and Brian finished 2nd overall. After the race we went to Pizza Ranch and had a great time.

Love
Will
