Ohio wrap up.

I went into the final day 4th on GC, down by 2 minutes, but still holding the KOH jersey. The yellow jersey was obviously trying to hold it, as well as gain the sprinters jersey and KOM jersey for his team.
Our plan was to hope that they burnt a lot of matches early [...]

5 down, 1 to go.
Today was a 60 mile road race with 1 KOM. It started and finished in the town of Gallipolis Oh. The course was amazing, the town was totally behind it, and the town had the racers in for dinner afterward. We are all pretty amazed at how well done this race [...]

Tour of Ohio Diary Day 4.

June 23rd, 2010 by xsteevox | 0

So I started the day in the yellow jersey, which was awesome. The stage was a “flat” stage, with only 1 KOM. The temperature was 97 degrees when we started, and it felt like riding in a hair dryer. This was the first race I have ever started with four bottles and eight gels.
The [...]

Tour of Ohio stage 3.

June 22nd, 2010 by xsteevox | 0

Today was the Queen stage. The single loop, which was a nationals course at some point, is 63 miles with 5 KOM’s.
The race started slow. Literally the exact opposite of yesterday, no attacks, no jumps. I rolled off the front early, just to see what would happen and it went. Two guys bridged [...]
