Nate had his first race of the day this morning and took a 1st place. It was the Polska cross race put on by the awesome Polska team. The course great and the weather was even better. At the start Gage took the hole shot and then Ian, Nate, Ben and Mitch in tow. Up the run up the kids were already passing the group that started in front of them. On the back side Ian went down and Ben went over him and that is when the break formed. Nate took the lead and Mitch was in 2nd and Gage in 3rd. It stayed that way for the next few laps and then Lionel got on Gage's wheel and bridged to Nate and Mitch. After a lap or 2 it was just Nate and Lionel for the last 2 laps. Nate sat on and let Lionel lead and answered to the attacks that Lionel tried. On the last uphill before the barriers Nate attacked and got a 20 foot gap and by the time he was over the barriers he had a 40 yard gap and rode it to the finish. Mitch rode in for the 3rd place and Gage held on for a nice 4th. Thanks to the Polska team for a great race and a awesome course. Now the bmx bikes are loaded in the car and ready for the 2nd half of the day. There is a cross race tomorrow in Janesville and then more bmx racing. Should be another fun day. Later..
