Racing

Races you plan to participate in this coming season?

I’ve got about 50 events on the schedule counting the Thursday Nighters. All of the big team goals will be in there.

Racing goals for the coming season? 

A strong performance at Kings Valley (That didn’t happen, damn head cold!) I’d like to see steady performance through the spring and a strong ride at Elkhorn. Otherwise, I’d like to win some races, get some points towards an upgrade and race aggressively as much as possible.

List finishes for the last couple of years?

2005 (cat 4) & 2006 (cat 3) Jack Frost TT – 1^st

2006 & 2007 Southern Oregon TT series 1^st overall, 5 wins.

2005 (cat 4) State TT – 1^st

2006 (cat 3) State TT – 2^nd (1^st among OBRA members)

2005 (cat 4) Kings Valley RR – 2^nd

2005 (cat 4) Elkhorn Classic TT – 4^th

2006 Thursday Night Series – 2 circuit race wins and a TT win.

2004 (Cat 3/4/5) Eugene Celebration TT – 1^st

2006 Eugene Celebration TT – 2nd

Best race finish/accomplishment ever?

It’s all pretty meager stuff. I sort of take my time trialing for granted and it’s hard to pick a best result among those – I haven’t had a lot of good results in road races or crits. 2^nd at Kings Valley in ’05 stands out I guess.
