Lake Sonoma MTB #1 - March 22

The plan was to do the Copperopolis Road Race, but Eric Tonkin bailed and Max Plaxton broke his road bike. It seemed like a better idea to do a mtb race close to Sonoma Lake anyways. Liam Killeen came into town this week and we were able to talk him into racing.

The day of the race was awesome... nice and hot. From the gun Barry went out like a bat out of hell, followed by a couple locals, then Max, Liam and I. By the second lap Barry and Max were ahead one minute, while I was in third with 1:45 on Liam. The third lap was the same but the gaps opened up more. On the fourth Max said Barry headed it but flatted a couple miles from the finish, so the Canucks took it 1, 2! Barry ended up third and Liam fourth.

Went swimming in Lake Sonoma which was cold, but awesome. Looking forward to Fontana next weekend. All the info for the Sonoma lake race series is availible at www.bikemonkey.net.
