So it finally got a little too hot for me to ride in Arizona. I was able to continue training through the end of June when the temperatures would reach 95 to 100 by 9 am, but now even by that time it's way to hot, so I decided to take a break. I also considered the fact that there aren't any official races going on right now in the area. Initially I had plas to race one of the National races in Utah but I've decided to move that for next year.
But just because I am not racing it doesn't mean I am not following the sport. With the Tour going and the Minnesota series at full speed, I've been keeping up with Roberto and Gregorio who are blazing through race courses at the Minnesota State Series.
Here is a picture of Roberto and Gregorio at the Chippewa Race in Wisconsin.
After doing a great job at event #2 in Steeple Chase, Roberto went to Afton where he finished 8th in his age group and 47th overall. The following week he drove up to scenic Duluth for the Dirt Spanker Classic at the Fund DuLac resort to get a great climbing work out near the St Louis river and went on to finish 9th and 34th overall.
This past weekend, Gregorio and Roberto crossed the border to Wisconsin to take on the Chippewa Fire Cracker. The tight single track and little climbing race course was perfect for Gregorio who has been riding his singlespeed bike. He finished 1st in the Singlespeed category and 3rd overall while Roberto had to deal with some chain/gears problems but still managed to finish in 5th place in his age group and 55th overall. That is great considering that the Sport category in the Wisconsin series is known as the one with the most participants in the country. At the Firecraker event 262 Sport division racers lined up at the start of the race. Over 200 of those were male riders, so Roberto and Gregorio both finished in the top 25%.
Kodus to those two.
