Hi! I have been training real hard for the Florida State Championship.  I've been riding every Tuesday with the cycle youth group and I have been getting faster.  I have done two races so far this year.

My first race was in Ocala and I came in eighth place. It took place in the Vortex at Santos. It was a very challenging race; any of you out there that has ridden this trail, I would think you will agree.

The second race was the six hour in Alafia and I came in fourth place.  That was the greatest time ever.  I was so excited when I finished to know that I am able to ride in an endurance race that takes six hours!

Both of the races were challenging, and I used them as a learning skill.  Speaking of skills, I've learned a technique that makes you go faster on the turns.  I had problems, but I got use to it with a little help from the other cycle youth racers.  Every Thursday I ride with a group out of LeRoy's Bikeworks and learn skills from them, too.

Thanks again for stopping by. See you at the races!
