Holiday Farm & Norba

Yesterday was 3rd week in a row I won my group (the fast guys havent been showing up)

It was a fun race, there was NEW singletrack to ride. Shaun will not be running the show next year, I'm hoping this series stays running. I will try to help, but I am an hour away which makes it tough. Maybe I can do web stuff, and some promotional things
.
I checked NORBA rankings (being MOTM#2 results were posted)...not bad, eh?

Today.........
Grip road ride w/MHCC. The pace seemed slow, I ended up at lead and I was yelled at cause I didnt know the route, so after that I jung back, and guess what at almost every route change they either missed the turn or had to stop, but no one else got yelled at, kinda pissed me off. whatever, maybe they were mad being only 2 of the 20 beat the dude w/baggies (me) up the big climb
