On tap this past weekend was the Hueston Woods Road Race in Oxford, OH. It was the first race of the season where we had a majority of Sustainable Cycling's members all in the same race. The course was awesome....I loved it. It was roughly a ten mile loop in the Hueston Woods State Park. There were three decent climbs, two very fast descents, and an uphill finish. All qualities that suit me well in a race....and it did. I ended up finishing 4th after attacking with three others at the bottom of the final climb. My teammate Blake finished 2nd on the day (all 200 lbs of him...don't ask me how he does it....It's amazing). Truemper also had a solid top ten result on the day.
The team did awesome during the race. We were definitely some of the big animators of the day with some solid attacks by Spencer and Truemper, I did some tempo work on the front as well as chased down a couple of guys, Pfeiffer and Blake spent some good time on the front as well putting the hurt on the caboose of the peloton. I'm really pleased with how I felt during the race. I put in some intense mid-race efforts and still had enough to have a solid finish.
Earlier this week, a friend Fink and I took an afternoon and went to the Angel Mounds down in Evansville, IN. It's a historical site of a native american settlement and a burial site as well. Both of us were pretty excited to see some sweet burial mounds as well as mentally stimulating educational experiences. We were, however, a bit let down to find a half functioning museum and a big empty field with a few lumps. The most productive part of the day was coming up with a sweet idea for a new reality TV show and how we would plan on using the money we scored from that to build Angel Mounds up to it's full potential....complete with hourly Buffalo hunts and indian battle reenactments. Both of those are stories for another day, though. Until then here's a great picture of our museum experience.
