So today I competed in the Pro Am race in Downers Grove, IL.This race is used as the warm up race for the big show tomorrow. The USpro Crit Championships. 

I have to be honest, I was very calm before the start of today’s race as I thought I would be very nervous.

The race got underway and the attacks started very quickly as every team has guys who cant win the jersey on Sunday.

My legs didn’t feel as good as I expected so I decided to give it a go with some efforts on the front and riding from front to back just to give the legs a test for tomorrow.

All went well and I pulled out with 15laps to go.  

The race came down to a small selected group of 6 guys with Frank Pipp (Bissel cycling) taking the win ahead of Karl Menzies (Ouch pro cycling).

I’m really looking forward to tomorrow and I hope to make everyone proud.

Lets get it.
