Gate City Grind RR and TT

GatecityttuhlLast night we drove out to Pocatello, Idaho for the Gate City Grind Stage Race put on by Rob Van Kirk. We’ve known Rob since our Utah days. He’s a super nice guy and puts on a great race. In the morning we had a long road race. It was multiple laps of about a 20-mile course. It had a couple of hills on it but they weren’t too long, though in years past I’ve gotten dropped on them. Today I was feeling pretty good and even got in a break for a short time. But the pack wouldn’t have it and I stayed safe in the pack for the finish.

In the evening is the Time Trial. I haven’t been time trialing really well so I wasn’t expecting much. I worked as hard as I could on the course, but I just couldn’t go very fast. My time was pretty bad but, hey, it’s still just training, right? Wait until August when I peak!
