Today I took part in my first road race, the Le Tour de Sainte Genevieve. It’s was a 35 mile race on the roads outside Ste. Genevieve, MO. As a rookie in the world of road racing, I was with the Cat. (Category) 5 group along with about 30 other guys. I came in 7th place and I was pretty happy with that considering it was my first race. Not to mention the fact that I didn’t wreck nor did I cause anyone else to wreck so that was a victory in itself. I had a lot of fun, even in spite of some monster hills. Too bad it was the last race of the season. I plan to do some more racing next spring. Until then, I’ll have to settle for our Concordia Century ride on October 20.
