ToAD #3

Nate on the 2nd box today. Awesome finish and 6 inches from the top box.
Sitting in the top 10 all race today.
Eying up the guys to beat to the line.
Joe Curtes taking the lead into turn 1.
Nate just chilling.

Today Nate, Cece, Gus and I headed to Grafton for the ToAD crit. The field was a 65 strong. Nate toed the line and was off and sat in the front 10 all race. About half way through the race there was a huge pile up and thankfully he was upfront and wasn't caught up in it. Then with 3 to go he and Joe Curtes moved to the front and got into position for the sprint finish. Nate pulled out of the line at 150 meters to go and chased down the guys and if he had another 3 feet would had won it. But a solid 2nd and great way to make up for yesterday. Then we watched the other races and then Joe was sitting perfect on 4th wheel into the last turn and his fork snapped and he went down hard. He is OK but the bike is hurt good. Hopefully he is doing OK and the road rash lets him race tomorrow. Tomorrow Nate and I are heading to Appleton for the next race and hopeful for good results again. See you at the races. Later..
