Back To Dirt

Archive for April, 2009

Thanks to all that came out for the clinic.  Charlie work with the attendees on stretching, cornering, starts, and visualization techniques.  I had some really good video that would make zen master Charlie a youtube sensation but I somehow hit pause instead of record.

On Sunday the 29th of March, Sandhills Cycling hosted the second of the Southern Classic Series at Uwharrie. I raced along with several other juniors from the Back to Dirt Development Team. Byron Rice (BTD) finished first in the Junior Men 13-14 class, Mulloy Manning finished first in the Junior Women 18- class, and I finished first in the Junior Men 15-18 class. The Back to Dirt team had three victories during the junior race, but during the Cat 2 race, Howard Rhyne took a fall and injured his shoulder, putting him out for the next few races. Overall the day went pretty well, with team Pro Charlie Storm finishing second in the Pro Men 19-29 class as well.
