DCCoD Grass Track Week 2 (this week with photos)

Dear Readers,

Today's blog dedicated David Lowe, one of mid atlantic's biggest grass track advocates and guardians. Heal quickly my friend, looking forward to lining up with you again soon!

This is the only picture of Big Time Glen Turner that I got today.
 Look as he surveys  over the area for which he is about to crush:

I didn't see it at first, but know that's not what's happening...

I only have this picture of Glen, because it was the only time his was behind me all day. Good on him.

Bothel and Jimmy ROCK Mauer..

Third race of the day was the lazy man's race. Win and you're out on the 2/4/6 lap. Turner took off like a shot from the gun, and I tried to cover his wheel. I had hoped to sneak up on him and maybe steal the 2 lap and the win. Turner was having nothing to do with it.

As a result of my effort, I had a pretty good head start into the 3rd lap over the rest of the group and started the 4th lap with a good sized gap to the group. I was hurting, but stayed steady. I still have a good gap over the group heading into the 4th lap. Ryan is stalking me again. I make the final turn and glance back. Ryan is sprinting hard. I stood and start sprinting. We bound for the line for the second week in a row.  We throw for the line, and roll around the corner starting the 5th lap.

He's coming for me. Full Speed...

Ryan smiles at me and says, "I think you got it this week!" Was it deception and guile getting revenge on youth and talent? I  don't think so. Dear readers, between you and me, I think Ryan just wanted two more hot laps, and I was happy take that sprint, and claim 2nd in this race.

A quick clip of Hailey, Diane and Jenn's team time trial.  Each rider does a lap at the front and rolls off... Bummed to have miss Hailey on the video:

Great group out today, some really fun racing, and great efforts. Thanks to (I)Paul and Lisa V for facilitating and make this happen. Great times. I leave you with this awesome video of me blowing up:
