Fresno Cyclocross Final




Picked up 2 wins at the Fresno Series Final. I was the overall series winner and also the ABR National 40-45 winner. Brian Lopes showed up and we did some practice together, then battled it out for the overall race win. That boy has some serious skills and strength. It came down to 4 of us in the break for the win- me, Steve Ray, Sam Ames, and Lopes. I chased down a last lap move from Steve Ray, and took the lead with 4 turns to go. But caught a pedal on a off camber turn and this bog down let Lopes squeeze by, and he held it to the line. Lopes is a good friend and a great rider. I had to seize the moment, but slipped up. I must improve, and get better, and work harder, and train harder.
