2009 Season Recap

2009 was perhaps my best year on the bike ever! That's a hard thing to say , since 1998 was a fantastic year with a lot of great results. But that was a different 'era' in my life so to speak. This year was well-rounded with wins on the road, TT, AND cyclocross bikes. Some highlights included 13 top 10 results (out of 25 races), a new PR at the River TT series, a win in the McMinnville RR (with my teammate in 2nd), another top 10 at Nationals with a 10th place in the RR (the hardest race I've ever done!), a win at the NCGP cyclocross race in Hendersonville (my #1 cyclocross objective of the year), and top 10s in every 'cross race I did, leading to an upgrade to Category 1 on the 'cross bike! All this, combined with some fantastic trips with my wife and team, a new house, pregnant wife, new PR in power numbers, a great year at work, and our new life in Asheville made 2009 the best yet!
