A Tough Cross Weekend for Jordan

Jordan scored the whole shot in the Rum River C Race.

Jordan had big plans to test himself this weekend in the B race at Red Barn and Rum River. Test himself he did. At both races, he dropped his chain bad enough to force him to switch to his backup bike. He also crashed pretty hard at Red Barn.

Due to his problems at Red Barn, he finished 28th out of 46 in the B race. That bad experience had him opting for the C race at Rum River. He scored a great hole shot, only to have chain drop problems again. After 2 laps, and 2 bike swaps, he was at the back of the field, and I suggested he stop, and opt for the B race. He was more than happy with that idea.

The B race went much better. His start wasn't great, but he picked his way through to the top 10 or so. After some mods, the chain drop problems were gone, but his back gave out late in the race, and he drifted back a few spots to 12th. He still beat his old man though. A most excellent learning experience.

A huge thanks to Jared Roy for loaning Jordan his bike at Rum River, and then fixing his chain. Jordan said the bike fit perfect, and the wheels are way sweet.
