Spring Mountain Bike Series #1
Presented by Heather & Wiley Mosley - Plaine and Son Bikes, Schenectady, NY
Last weekend I completed my first race of the season, held in Schenectady, NY and put on by Heather and Wiley Mosley and Plaines' and Sons. It was freezing, but so much fun!
A lot of people showed up to race and to watch. I felt pretty good and raced well in the Women's novice category. I came in first; the first time that I have gotten first when there was another person in my group, which is rare at small races. The course was very fast and well planned out. I can't wait until next weekend.

The 2006 season opener at the Central Park Trails in Schenectady, New York sponsored by Plaine and Son Bike shop was a blast. The 22 degree temperature at race onset was quickly eliminated with the quickness of the race's pace. The race atmosphere was all about having fun and trying to keep warm. Breaking the racers into Open and Novice classes I finished 2nd in the Male Open group. With a few mechanical issues caused by sticks becoming jammed in the rear wheel and also around the cassette, it was still a great way to check the legs and start a great season..
