I know finaly huh. Sorry it took me so long, but I'm back so here we go.
I suppose I am going to leave this short and sweet as it now seems forever ago. But really it was a great time on great course with exceptional weather. All the kids raced hard and the results show how hard the kids are working. Everyone of them put in huge efforts on an extremely hard course and I know that they are all proud of what they did.
Also I have to make a big point here to say THANK YOU NIPPY! A long time Tucson cyclist who has been great to us as a team and bought the whole team lunch after the ride at the Taste of China. A very kind offer that the kids made sure to take advantage of. Also thank you to all the parents and team supporters for making this happen. You guys are what make the team possible.
Getting ready for the start of the race. We had to leave Tucson at 4am because of the start time and the fact there is no way we could have afforded hotel rooms.
Kramer finished Second in the 17- 18 boys division because of poor race coordination, but we know we can win next year which is good motivation. He is starting to really blossom as a racer and has heart, so the sky is getting lower. Conner and Donovan played cat and mouse with each other all day with Donovan winning the battle between the two. They finished well and left with the race with smiles.Getting ready for the start of the race.

Kramer Rouge on his winning block. Second place 17- 18. Ricardo also raced in the this category but never really got the chance as his shoe lace got stuck in his chain ring at the beginning of the race and he never got a chance to hang with the pack. Next year!
Lizzy on the left in her very first race ever. So why not make it the State Championships? I did not see her riding but she said even though she fell over 3 times that she would do it again. Oh yeah by the way she got third place 13-14 girls.
And here is the unbeatable combo of Max and Logan so far every race they have entered this year they have not been beat. They have gone 1-2 in everything they have entered this year. These boys work there butts off too and deserve everything that has come there way so far. I am extremely proud of them and really enjoy coaching them. This is the second state champ event in which they have gone 1-2. They did it in the Crit Champs as well. We are proud of you guys!
Here we are tasting China. Thanks again Nippy!!
