After a week home and complete bike tear down and checkover we head to round 3 Steele Creek GNCC.
In the Mountains of North Carolina We meet up with our racing friends for Steele Creek. The only thing I can say is HILLS! And thats exactly what was said at the riers meeting… Remember hills up and down be smart and have fun…
The hills at first looked intimidating but for the new Kawasaki and Pirelli tires they were nothing. After a poor start and having to battle with the pack the first lap was a disaster! I changed the suspension and that turned out bad. To a to my first lap nightmare 7 miles in I managed to get sprayed and for the second I couldn’t see ended out in a hole up to my seat. After i was done doing handstands I came around lap 1 in 16th position 6 minutes behind the next rider. After a quick pitstop to put the suspension back the way it was I put my head own and pushed hard.
3 hours and 6 laps later I managed my best finish yet with a 10th place finish in XC2 wow I was pumped after my horrible start to get into the top ten.
Now I am home and loaded for Round 4 Big Buck in Union, South Carolina. I’m hoping for some luck and another top ten. See you at the track!
