Biggest race weekend of the year

Friday night, we headed up to St Cloud MN, for the final MNSCS race of the year. This was a huge race for Zach because he was setting 3rd overall in the points for the year. If he could take first in this race, he could take first overall for the year by a mere 5 points (905 to 900). He and his main competitor both knew what was at stake before race time. Needless to say Zach was a little on edge. We setup my Vassago Optimus TI for him to race, we got it down to only 19.3 pounds.....Sweeeet!



When the gun went off, Zach got the hole shot. He pushed the pace hard the whole race and never let up.
He, not only took first in his age class, but also first overall for the whole race!
I moved up to sport for Saturday's race. I took 5th in my age class and 35th out of 95.
Sunday was the first cyclocross race of the season which was also at St Cloud. Zach got 2nd in 15-18 and 16th overall out of 67 racers.

We would like say a big THANK YOU to Vassago Cycles for their support, and we could not have done it without them.
