Here is the story, as told by Steve himself in his post-race interview with ALL the big cycling magazines!
-------------
This past Saturday I traveled to Rowlesburg WV for the Appalachian Bicycle Racing Association's - West Virginia State Time Trial Championships.
Since I did not go to the PA state time trial, because it was so far away (being in the same State and all!), I thought this was a good chance to race in a State TT, even it was someone else's state.
The course was a rolling 15 and ¼ mile course, although it was advertised as a 16 mile TT (they must have shorter miles in WV...?)
The course is slightly downhill going out and slightly uphill coming back. The weather was very pleasant but a little cool (less than 60F) with a light breeze.
I took 1st Place in the Cat 1/2/3/4/5 Masters Category, with a time fast enough for 3rd Place Overall!
I was really happy with my performance, and WIN, but I couldn’t help but think about the bonus there would have been if I actually lived in WV.....like some road kill, a new fishing lure, or some other local item of value!
Regardless, I was glad to return to Western PA (and civilization) with a win for the team and a bag of race swag!
P.S.
My performance was inspired by X-Ray man.
