Hi again!
I am all caught up on my school work and back on blog writing duty!
We are now in Anniston, Alabama gearing up for our race here later today. We arrived late last night after racing in Spartanburg, and we are once again are being hosted by another amazing family - Doug and Brenda Ghee, in their beautiful big home on the outskirts of Anniston.
Doug was up this morning first thing to cook us a traditional Southern Breakfast of corn grits, bacon, eggs and biscuits before we went for our morning spin! Lucky us!!
The race last night in Spartanburg was a little frustrating for us - we all seemed to struggle a little with positioning in the bunch and getting bossed round and really just need to be more aggressive about holding our space to stay up near the front of the peleton. No easy task when you are careering round the corners at 27 miles at hour! However, both Anna and Kate finished in the top 20 so it wasn't all bad! Every race we have learnt something from and this will hold us in good stead for the rest of the season.
It is raining here today and it looks like we may be racing in the rain tonight, so that will add a whole other factor into the race equation.
Anniston is an National Racing Calendar race and not actually part of the 'Speed Week' series we have been doing. The town puts on a real fesitval and we are excited to be part of it all!
After tonight we only have one more race left, in Sandy Spring, Georgia then it is home time! The week of racing, road tripping, adventures, laughter and meeting all these amazing people will be done. And I will be sad! But fear not, there are many more road trips and escapades to come this racing season!
Ciao!
Dale
