Jordan wins a Ninja Prime! Way Cool.Awesome weather for the 2nd State Fair Affair. The whole family, plus friends was there to watch. The Wollers are back in town, and Jay showed a fresh pair of wheels in the Cat 1/2/3 race.
The Cat 1/2/3 race was up first. I got stuck in the back at last weeks race, and found it hard to move up. This week, I lined up on the front, and kicked it off the start. I kicked a bit too hard, and ended up gapping the field for a lap or so. Carla said the kids were asking what I was doing? She replied, "blowing himself up".
I felt much better this week. GP had almost effortless control of the race. I chased a few moves, then would rest. Eventually, a strong group formed off the front with 3 GP, Bergman, and Timmer. Myself, and several others gave chase, but they looked like they were gone. Amazingly, the chase was strong enough to bring everything back together with a few laps to go. GP setup their train, and finished 1-2-3-4. Nicely done.
The Juniors/Cat 5 race was up next. Jordan was coming off 2 races this weekend, plus a 3 hour hill ride Monday. I knew he would be tired. He led the field across the line after the first lap and scored a ninja prime. After that, he wasn't his normal self. He stayed in the pack, but it was obvious the last 3 days had taken their toll on his legs. He was disappointed after the race, but the Growler cheered him up.
We stuck around to watch the Cat 3/4 race. Eric Carter was on the front for nearly the entire race. I think he won 3 growlers. Unfortunately, there was a crash near the front of the group just at they were about to get the bell. Sadly, Frye went down, and got a good dose of road rash. His bike took a beating too.

Nice, dudes! Jimmer, strong work cracking the whip to bring the break back, friend. Your effort may go unnoticed in the results, but I'm sure your fitness will reflect it later in the season!
