We headed down to
the2nd ovcx race in Indianapolis Indiana on Saturday to pre ride for the race
on Sunday. I got to the course and rode 4-5 laps and felt pretty good for just
getting out of the car after a 5hr drive. The course was a grassy and bumpy. It
looked like we would be doing high 6min laps and it was going to beat your back
up. I decided to run Grifo’s at 27psi for the bumpy and loose turns. Had a good
dinner at http://bruggebrasserie.com/ and
was ready to rock the 2nd race of the ovcx season.
Race day warm up
went well and I was ready to race. I was front row this based on the results of
ovcx 1. There was another huge field in the elite race around 55 starters. This
is a great sigh for the ovcx. The total entry’s for the race was around 500
again for the race. I ended up with a decent start and was in 10-12th
after the first lap. I was ok with my position because of how fast the course
was and I knew it would break up later, but Josh Johnson had other ideas he
checked out and had about 40sec after 3 laps. He was fresh off of 3rd
place at UCI gateway cup on Wednesday. He ended up crushing us all and won by
over 2 min. Meanwhile I was battling for the 3rdafter Mitchel
Kersting went on the attack with about 4 laps to go. I positioned myself poorly
for the last 3 laps and ended up getting 8th. Better than the first
week and my back is feeling better. We had post-race beer at http://tritonbrewing.com a great sponsor of
the race.
This week we get to
race in Ohio and it’s my birthday!
