Ready or Not...

Ready or not the racing season is underway and there is no turning back now!
This past weekend marked the start of the season for Team Exergy! All of our hard training during the off season was put to the test at Merco cycling classic. It is a four day stage race in Merced California. The first day was an 84 mile Circuit that had something for everyone. It was no easy course and the field was strong. We ended the day with Logan taking 3rd on the stage. Next was the TT, a 12 mile rolling terrain out and back. My job was just to make the time cut and save the legs for the next two day. Serg and Logan had a great ride finishing 4th and 5th! The crit was the next day which was a long course and figure 8. It was a hard 40 miles with everyone a little tense and scared which made for some close calls. In the End Logan finished 3rd again. The whole team rode great leading up to the last day. We were all eager for a win and we knew we had the power to deliver. The last day was not going to be an easy day for anyone. 120 miles road race with rolling terrain and only seconds between the top guys on GC. We wanted to get a couple guys up the road to get time but it was hard to get guys away. We did 6 laps on a 20 mile course and the first two laps were fast and A LOT of attacks. We were in every move but nothing was staying away. Finally on the second lap Conor got in a break with two Optum guys and one Simple Green rider. They stayed away until the last lap. In the end Logon WON! 1st win for Team Exergy in 2012 and I guarantee it wont be the last.
