Here is Maddie after the 24 hour race. Her and Chloe supported us and the kids all weekend. Thanks girls.

The race weekend was a blast again. The MARS jr kids are a class act. They raced their hearts out and were as humble as ever knowing that they were up against other strong trams. They were not cocky like the first place team and I do have to say a big congratulations to the Expo jr team. They were as humble also and a great bunch of kids. Great job guys. I have to thank Steve, Amy, Diane, Jeff and Dale for all the help and support for the kids and me over the weekend. None us could have done as well as we did with out them. Thanks again.

The team that I was on was just put together and entered in the 4 man single speed class. I was hoping not to bring them down and that we would have a strong team. Well after the antibiotics kicked in I was wondering how I would ride. But I was able to keep up and turn solid laps int he day and strong ones at night. All the others did to and we held a small 3 minute lead into the night laps. But the other team pulled a fell faster and got a small lead. I was able to get 5minutes back on my last lap but it was to much and we settled for 2nd in a close race. I had a blast and I may try it again.
