Well, racing season has officially begun. It should have begun a few weeks ago, but Schabobele (my favorite race :( ) was postponed because of a huge freak snowstorm in KY and 10 degree weather. Go figure it was rescheduled to the next weekend when I already had plans to be out of town. Luckily my teammate represented well and brought home the toaster for Roadhouse.
So...things got started for me and most everyone else this past weekend with the Kentuckiana and Ohio Valley Racing Spring Series Races - l'Esprit RR on Saturday, and Reily RR on Sunday. The Texas Roadhouse Ladies opened up the season with a bang going 1 & 2 in both races . The two days were a flip-flop of each other, with me attacking early on Saturday and Tracy joining me on the next hill for an off-the-front win for TRH, then Sunday Tracy attacked early and I bridged up and it was another TRH off-the-front win. The men's team took 1& 2 on Sunday as well, and also won the field sprint both days. It was soooooo much fun to be racing again.
The weather was a bit chillier than expected, but on our way back to Indy it started snowing, so I suppose heading out-of-town to race was the better idea. Unfortunately both courses were relatively hilly (for IN/KY) so I went with the lighter Zipps and didn't get a chance to race the Flashpoints, but we've got some flat races coming up, so I might get to give 'em a run!
Early this week I'm swamped with school obligations, but the weather looks like it will be shaping up for the end of the week - with even some 60 degree days - so I can't wait!!!!
And I'll see y'all (oh man I've been in KY too long) at New Washington next weekend!
