Thanksgiving Recap!

I received this Thanksgiving weekend race recap from Bill Elliston...Thanks, BIll and good job!

"Yo Ed-

Quick weekend race update:

Saturday:
Bay State Cross, Stirling, Mass. New England Championship Series Round 5; UCI C2
15th place

Lousy last row start of 40-odd starters. Felt pretty good and got through some traffic to a group of 12, right to the front of that and split it into a group of 4. Stayed like that til we got caught by Jeremy Powers when we were on 2 to go. (lap times were 6 and change; shorter than what they are supposed to be for UCI races) Took the sprint from the group.

Sunday:
NJ Cross Championships, Augusta,NJ
1st place
Went away on first lap w/ one other guy, Aaron Oakes (Van Dessel), stayed clear til finish. Some attacking last lap, smoked him in sprint for win.

Next week: Carlisle, Pa UCI C2 on Saturday; Capitol Cross, Reston, Va, UCI C2 on Sunday."
