Nate and I loaded his road bike and headed to Hartland for the WCA Crit. Nate toed the line for the Jr 16-18 race and he was 1 of the 3 that were not from the IS Corp team. When the race started the IS Corp team kept sending a rider off the front and Nate had to cover each one and then Leif tried swept across the front and almost took 3 racers down and they all had to hit the brakes and Leif got a gap with another racer for 4 laps. Nate closed the gap with to to go and then was in the sprint and took a 4th place in the end. Right after roll out he toed the line again and this time with the Sr 4's. In this race there was 44 racers and it was alot easier as he didn't have to chase all race. He sat in the pack and with 1 to go he moved to the front and was 2nd wheel going into turn 3 but was Jr geared and spun out so he was pulled in and finished 6th in the end. Good racing and Sussex tomorrow for some more crit racing. It was nice that Gus and Christie came out to watch Nate race today and tomorrow I will be taking Gus along as he enjoyed the races today. Well time to pull the grill out. Later..
