Double Lake race

I just learned how to type and post pictures. This last race was in Coldspring, TX which is about 45 minutes northeast of Houston in the Sam Houston National Forest. It is the flattest, fastest course of the Spring series and a real lung burner. We have one more race of the Spring Series to go in two weeks out at X-bar in the semi-desert of Southwest Texas. This place was the complete opposite - 100' pine trees everywhere, a spring fed lake to swim in and wash off after riding and sweating in the 99.8% humidity.

Nicole did great as usual. She finished 1st again and I won my first podium position at 3rd place. It was tough. I wanted to stop, but didn't want to fall into 4th position. Nicole rode hard for 1:51 minutes and mine was shorter since I did 2 laps instead of 3 at 1:13min. Fun times! The Hannusch's from Houston and Brazoria came as well to spectate. They did an excellent job as well. Billy Beckes was there as well. He was sporting a fancy new full suspension Kona bike and enjoyed not being numb after the race because of the vibration.

'Til next time......
