Georgia Cyclocross State Championships Juniors 15-18 2011

Jansen raced his age category this weekend and was hoping to have some fun.  He has a lot of hours on his legs from weeks of base and we hoped they would 'wake-up' for a sprint!   You could tell he was having a good time on the course as he made his way around each lap and watching him ride through the sand was pretty cool.  He had two Cycle Youth teammates and a Fulton Flyers (road) teammate out there with him and they were all riding strong.

The start of the juniors 15-18 race.

By the second lap he had a 1+minute gap on the field and rode smart for the win.

We were so jazzed to see Mike there!  He came out on his mtb to ride the trails and make Bruce feel good about his crazy red and white kit.  Mike is in Atlanta and just finished his training as a EMT/Firefighter.  That is AWESOME!

Retro pic of Tristan, Mike, Everett and Jansen, hanging out after a race at Tsali.  All four have been state champs and Tristan and Mike made the national team as juniors and competed at the world championships.

I had planned a long ride on the trails at Yargo, but we were all so hungry after the guys finished their races, that we hit the road for burritos, instead.......and Elizabeth is never one to turn down yummy mexican food!  I think she and Jansen are discussing her new chickens in this pic.  We missed Everett and Jafer this weekend, but hope to catch up with those guys shortly for more riding.

Huge congrats to Shey and Jansen on their new jerseys!!!
