Barry Wolfe Crit
Barry Wolfe Crit
Well you all know about the track race (read above) and Saturday was the same. The second race of the Memorial Day weekend was also a race in dedication to Barry Wolfe. Saturday race was a new course from the past years. Usually it’s a wide-open 4-corner race with very good roads. This year it was 4 corners with bad roads and narrow streets. This race was all about who can make it to the last corner first for the short 150-meter sprint.
This race was a whole lot better for me than I expected given that I just don’t feel 100% at this time. After a few break went and came back, with about 40 minutes to go, I small group got away and it had 1-2 guys from every team including new Successful Living member Gordon Mcully. I made my move got across to the break and got right to work. I wanted this break to stick because I was the fastest guy in the move. After the break got about 30 seconds I started to pull less and watch for Gordon attacks, which worked out for me because I was able to bring back every single attack that look dangerous.
With 2 laps to go, Gordon attacked and opened a decent gap however Kale from LaGrange had his teammate Marco Rios bring him back giving me the perfect lead out. With two corners to go, I came out 4th wheel knowing it was a race to the next corner. A SDBC rider started the dash to the corner, I quickly jump along with Kyle and now it’s a 3 up side my side dash to the corner. I’m thinking “ crash or win” who ever breaks last and don’t crash will win…first guys to give up was the sdbc rider, so now its Kyle and I and I beat him to the corner going about 38mph. As I make the corner, I notice that I’m going to fast and I run into the center divider rubbing the side of my tires with it. For a hot second I thought I would crash, but remember, I got mad skills and I made it to take the win.
You guys wont believe this. I won two cash primes and when it was time to collect, they said John Wordin went home with the cash box....haha
