UNCA Race Weekend #2 - North Georgia

I am really ready for spring.
As many of you know, 5 of us traveled to North Georgia this weekend for our second road race.
Saturday went quite well even with some wrenched thrown into the schedule.
We arrived to find out that there was an individual time trial in addition to a team time trial.

It was 50 degrees and pouring rain and the A riders opted to use road bikes instead of Time Trial bikes because
we were not really comfortable on them. It ended up being the wrong choice, but Brendan Dillow, Travis Fender, and I still pulled out a 2nd Place finish to
Cumberland University.

The highlight of the day was Lee Meroney Winning the Men's C Time trial by 30 seconds.

Sunday was even nastier and it was 40 degrees and raining. After getting gapped and becoming borderline hypothermic and unable to feel our fingers,
Travis Fender and I abandoned the race.

'However, Lee Meroney and Drew Cistola road strong and Lee pulled off a 2nd place finish in the Men's Cs with Drew Finishing a strong 11th.

Hopefully this coming weekend at Clemson will be warm and sunny.
Come on spring, you can do it!

I will keep you posted.
