Definitely happy with the ride, considering I didn’t feel too good when I went to bed last night! I’m always very thankful for being invited to ride with The Snakedoctor, Jeff Skokan who has ALWAYS had my back. As always, I am most thankful to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for enabling me to return to this sport, that I love and for yet another safe ride.

Paying the bad luck tax early again. 4th time doing this race and the 3rd time I’ve had a mechanical. Dropped my chain at mile 15 while the winning move was forming. Ended up 5th after a long day in no mans land.
