BRENT 3RD AT PONTIAC LAKE NORBA

Great job Brent!!!!!!!

What he had to say about the race:

What a day for racing. Sunny skies, comfortable temps, and no rain. After a week of constant showers, the trail at PLRA turned out great. The corners were fast and tacky and there were no real slick spots to wipe out in.

First lap was riding with the main group, then I was caught up behind some riders. Kuhn, Lummis, and Mike Bartlett got away, so once I was able to pass I was on full gas to make up a 30 second split. About 2/3 of the way through the trail I had closed the gap and brought back two other KLM guys(Buccaletto/Goddard). Lap 2 saw the group together until Lummis attacked and it was him and Mike alone. I was stuck behind a rider and didn't even notice what happened immediately. Just before the end of the lap I had bridged back to the group again solo, so it was the three of us until Buccalleto(sp?) caught up after the start/finish. Mike lead out the lap and then 3-4 miles in before the campground I went by him and gapped the group on a climb. I kept the hammer down for the most part, caught myself sliding the front tire out, and was able to roll in for 3rd.

After a bad race at Big M, I got some decent training in and some needed recovery to get the job done. It was a fun race with the group breaking up, changing and battling for third the whole time. I had a good race and enjoyed it. That's what racing is all about. It was nice to see a large group of Elite racers out today to put up some stiff competition.

IN THE MONEY

AMANDA WINS THE MAYBURY XC!

The day after a very stormy night with buckets of rain and a tornado or two Amanda fought through the rain and mud to win her first XC race of the season and get a little cash. She has been focused on downhill but still has some XC legs left in her. Great job girl!!!

It gets Better

It is getting better and better for the KMR downhill crew! Adam stunned the Snowshoe crowd with a ripping race run in a light rain to take over the hot seat and hold it for his first proffesional win. Amanda again showed that Michigan may be a hot bed for downhill talent. She convincingly took the downhill win and with her new improved jumping ability secured first in the Dual!!

Congratulations KMR>
