Buck#1 - Public Service

Un-official Paparazzi BUCK HILL 2009 #1 news. 1st Buck race of 2009 shows youth willpower, new blood & elders. My position solid considering self abuse tactics of late. Good times. Sorry but my Buck pre-lim results will be less frequent than prior years, too much pressure.
My race report: I led out start to enable proper math -1, -2, -3 etc. First bendan, then jesse, jack before woods. Andy on climb. Later Jesse let Tom & I by lap2? So it was Brendan, Jack, Andy, then Myself, Tom & Jesse battling. I gave it all on water tower climb 3 to pass lap traffic. Jesse & Tom on. At one point later lap 3 I slowed after traffic to let Tom & Jesse catch up. Bad idea perhaps as start of lap 4 I faded as Jesse & Tom powered it. I ended 6th. Andy gave up 3rd to Tom thinking 10th was up for grabs, Jesse 5th. I'm humored by Andy in mix not knowing it. 17yr old Jack showing hamster like will power. Good times!! Time! Early season for da 5 seasoned. Penn Cycle Results now avail

Way to bleed "Fermented". Black spots are worthy of a ricoh point.

Anybody get caught into the ChatterBox spiderweb?

Andy, keep up the good work and we'll have a name for ya yet like "side-step-sister". Ha! Once in motion it's willpower, determination & saving enough oxygen to stay out of the ozone. My first race in the mix I was so excited I spaced out what lap it was until Dave O & Paul H flew by into finish chute. Dropping from 3rd to 5th with 2nd right there with us!!

Gotta love the group of youngsters battling this year. All want and endless heartbeat, like a hamster on the wheel. Go go go! A little dangerous when the kids get rambunctious but all good.
