Michigan Road Racing

[MBRA]

Despite most of the racers having the West Branch race in their legs, there was a decent turnout for the 2000m Talent Pool TT.

This was a first year event and even I was able to get out there on the track, first time on a fixed gear bike, first time on the track. After getting instruction from Bruce, the banking was NO PROBLEM. It was a blast cruising around that track like it was the Indy 500. I was super impressed by the U23 guys who were FLYING!!! David Williams was scary FAST!!!

A HUGE thanks goes to Dale, Bruce, Ed, and Gene, the track guys, as well as Cullen Watkins and John Sammut for officiating as well as to the Wolverine Sports Club for hosting the event.

Here's the unofficial results. We'll have them added to the Michigan Challenge database soon:

I LOVE how each of those pictures have him off-center to the left side of the picture frame, like he was riding WAY TOO FAST for the photographer!

Way to go David!
