Today was the start of my 2010 season. After a winter doing some cyclocross racing, many road miles and countless hours on the turbo trainer I was eager to race, to see if the winter miles had paid off.
The course was a fairly fast and technical one with great flowing single track.
I rode in the Sport category (4 laps) race. After getting a pretty good start, I entered the first section of singletrack in third position feeling very easy. After about 2 miles into the race I took the lead going up a short steep hill, I pushed hard on the twisty descent trying to open up a gap. I rode out front for 3 3/4 laps crossing the line with my first win for the club, opening up a lead of 2 mins 30 secs.
Next race I hope to step up to Expert category (5 laps)
I hope to transfer this form to my first season of road racing.
Its time to get some hard training in and visit the chiropractor !"

Nice on Rob, 4th cat to elite in 1 season, me thinks
