2008 Recap

Spent the early part of 2008 thinking too much about the crash and even got obsessed with crashes in general but once the race rides started and season got going I started to spend less time thinking about crashing and more time thinking about riding, just riding. A couple of events rattled me though -- a crash at Paskenta that took out then DBC Junior Alex Wick and another at Merco RR that took out Jason Eiserich. Both recovered very well and have resumed racing.

As I focused more on riding and less about the crash the year just seem to accelerate! Throw in DBC masters rides, The Showdown, Wheelworks race rides, Aggie Race Rides, DBC T/Th Race Rides plus all other training rides and my 2008 season went like this:

San Bruno Hill Climb
