Promotions OVCX cyclocross race offered great food, record high temperatures and a new and improved course. The tape wound up and down an increased amount of climbs, steeper descents and even a micro sand-pit. The best Cajun food in Lexington, Bourbon n' Toulouse was also present offering up their famous Chicken Etouffee. Jacob continued his winning ways in the Open Singlespeed classification, despite seeing his biggest field of competition since the Louisville GP. That makes three wins in a row. Shamrock Cycle's PHD, Scott Belcher finished strong in fifth place. I caught a quick glance of Tom Mulpagano, but he disappeared before I had a chance to find out how he finished. He is quite the clandestine individual.
The Women's 1,2,3 race was for second, third and fourth position. The battle was on between Bridgett Donovon-Billiter, Gerry Schulze, and me, Amanda Virostko. I was informed that the race would suit me because I am a mountain biker, but, it also suited Billiter and Schulze who are very good mountain bikers. I was winning in the first 15 seconds of the race, then the woman with four names, first place finisher, Anna-Jean Dellaire (Nicki) calmly passed me and powered up the remainder of the hill. I did the best I could to stay on her wheel but fell off with Billiter and Schulze right there with me. Schulze powered off and would have likely stayed ahead if she could have prevented a crash in one of the final turns of the first couple laps. Billiter and I caught back up with her and swapped positions a few times before I was able to pass Schulze, get a gap on her and cruise to second place. We have quite a competitive series of great people on and off the bike. We have a big week coming up. My Dad and I will continue our Thanksgiving tradition by running a 10K. Jake and I will continue our new Thanksgiving tradition of doing the best gravel race in the world, "The Gravel Grovel." Sunday we will head North for yet another OVCX Race at John Bryant State Park.
