Well I got what I was looking for. I lined up right behind th
e series leader thinking he would start fast. well everyone swarmed him, I got pinched a little and tried to pass on the outside but got stuck in traffic about 5-7 wheel. Tried to make my way up the line but the guys weren't having it. I came around on the flats but the leader was already gone. They just let him ride away, there was never a reaction in the group no one tried to chase him content to let him go. I guess this has been how it played out all year in the 3's. After the split was made a group of 4 was left 2 SS and 2 of us on gears. After trying to make something work between us and failing I uped the tempo and pulled away from the group. I continured to chase but the damage had been done and the leader was well away. Apparently he was met with a less than enthusastic reponse when he crossed the line and I was cheered on with "If i
t wasn't for the sandbagger you would be State Champ!" Whatever the case he rode away, no one chased him , and I couldn't catch him, so good for him he will face the music in the 1/2's next year. I was a little worried I would get the sandbagger label after racing Masters all season but all of the ill will was directed at the other guy, and I had a lot of "If it wasn't for ___......." conversartions after the race from the other guys in the race. It's all good. I had a great time racing in Wisco this year - THANKS TO ALL THE PROMOTERS, SUPERFANS, SUPPORTERS, AND RACERS for an awesome Wisconsin Cross season!!
One of my favorite shots from the race. Borrowed from djohnnymac thanks!
