Hixton.
A storied place. I have had a lot of good races here. But, the trail has gotten a bit beat. This year, Mat Herrington (@matty_racer414) and Brian Terry (@Bterry15) took it upon themselves to make a new trail on the CMJ raceway. It rocked.
Here is a little video of most of the 1st lap of the +40 class. This is from Saturday. I did ok on Saturday.
The course was way more up hill and down hill than the video leads on. But, it was super fun. I had a good race and finished 2nd. But, John got away right away in the first lap, while I struggled to get up to that speed.
Scott and I stayed at Black River Falls on Saturday night, and had dinner in Black River Falls at Rozario’s Italian in BRF. I was ok. Kinda cool to stay overnight in a small Wisco town. I love summer here.
Here is a shot of Scott doing some bike surgery. Seems like these things always need this. This is just before Sunday’s race.
As always, there seems to be a hillclimb going on while we are racing there. It is whacky stuff. Here is a shot of what I thought the best dedicated hillclimb rig was there.
Out,
Joe
