9/2 WINRR Review

WOW! New blood equals ever fast pace. With Andy and Paul showing and Matt leading the charge, the clip was a bit fast as we averaged just over 23mph on our way to Middleburg with Andy and Paul fighting to the sprint win and the older guy got it from my point of view. As we gathered and made it up KOM 1 the skinny, fast guys were up there duking it out, I am still waiting for the results but it looked like there were 3 at the line as they hit the crest of the hill. The next KOM(2) was a quick sprint up a 11% grade and a wrong turn made those in the lead do some extra work. After regrouping and enjoying the nice long downhill, we made it to "childbirth" and enjoyed the view from the top...oh for about 3 seconds as the regroup was at the stop sign afterward. We rolled and an early sprint had everyone confused but Paul led the way into Pickerrelltown. Next the long downhill sprint to the line was a riot as we hit the 40+ going into the line. Coming back in from there was as quick as ever and Paul hit the Johnson Rd and Marysville sign sprints out front with Jeff on his tail. I had an average speed of 20.8 for the 52 mile ride. Fast times by fast guys...thanks! Darin and John B will get an extra point in the total this week because of birthdays.
