Another one bites the dust !

Yeah most of you heard about me chance to meet the infamous ground at cherry pie.The race wasn't fast by all means.The race organizers added a new part to the course that i find stupid and crash prone from the start.Just before the climb to the finish they added a right-left chicane with a center divide. I sat comfortably in the group feeling my cold every pedal stroke we made.The group was huge and a lot of inexperienced riders were still in the large 10 - 18 junior group.With three to go we entered the chicane and a rider 4 guys to my left freaked out and took me and three specialized riders down . I got up and my knees were hurting .Steve yelled to go get my free lap but with the lap card out my day was over.The specialized guys and I were pretty mad non the less but thats racing for ya!I iced the knees and they seem to be doing good but the cold still lingers .With the TOC junior crit ahead i hope i can get better soon.congrats to all who finished the race next year its revenge on the pie.

"a rider 4 guys to my left freaked out and took me and three specialized riders down " I heard at Merco that someone had wrote that specialized cause the crash in their blog. But after reading all the Blogs regarding Cherry Pie I have still yet to find it. Why would she start rumors like that. Hmmmmmm, maybe of fear that DBC JR Race Team is still a team to be watched in the Jr peloton
