bowdog Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 lol 3rd in Novice i think. bent bars, bent brake lever (had no front brake for 6 laps) and maybe a small fracture in my thumb. Pretty sore today and cant hardly move it. May have to tape my left hand to the bars next race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your hand/thumb looks better than mine did when I crashed my first race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Ouch! same exact spot mine is but I am no where near that bad...Had the front tire wash out on me in a right hander and pretty sure i tried to brace for the fall. Hoping to see you guys before that, Kent was talking to me yesterday about setting up a night practice at CRP soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I'm betting a dollar that night practice will probably on the weekend i'm on vacation, or the day of my father-in-law's 60th birthday party. I'll definitely be at the next race round though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Gavin is 176 isn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yep just looked at your pics. That's Gavin Anthony. 11 yo kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yup that's little Gavin, he ran awesome this weekend! Won every race he entered beating the likes of Jared Trees etc. All he needed was the mind set that he could win and i believe he got that this weekend.

bowdog Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 On another note we witnessed probably the best race of the year this weekend between Trees and Gothem, came down to literally a photo finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I hope he got photo number 20. He looks like he is going warp speed. He was definitely fast and looked good in the corners I was sitting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 yeah, Gavin is definitely 176. He has stepped it up a TON this year. Last season, I could almost keep up with him, but he was impossible to pass. I blamed his weight advantage. This year, I'm a couple seconds faster than I was last year, and he's still a solid 2 seconds faster than me... And that's not because he's lighter. The kid can ride.

fireman_343 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I wish I was there to battle with G-man! I can't wait for CRP's race.. It's ON!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I'm going to have to go on a workout/diet binge and drop under 160 lbs. I'd like to catch Gavin this season, but my progress at CRP has slowed considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman_343 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Funny thing is... I know someone that can help ya with that workout/diet! Lol But seriously.. Even with my bike and me weighing in at 150lbs, it's a hard task to pass Gavin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman_343 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Only gets harder as they get older and faster. Look at Harrison. I use to beat him at CRP, then the light switch went off one day and Jordan and I couldn't keep up.. Now.. The little punk waves at me as he passes me at Mid O on his SV!

Even with my bike and me weighing in at 150lbs, it's a hard task to pass Gavin. haha - yeah, I'm not going to pretend that losing weight would be a magic bullet. It would really just eliminate another excuse! My physical fitness has been a roller-coaster over the last few years. I used to have a job with a gym in the basement. I could run and work out during lunch daily. Then during bar prep, working out was my sanity. I wasn't lifting as much, but I ran a lot, and was training for 12 mile adventure races (I actually missed the first 2013 OMRL round for the PA Tough Mudder). Accepting my current job last September has meant 90 minutes a day (minimum) commuting. Throw a baby into the mix, and my workouts have been limited to doing squats while holding the kid on my shoulders, and stopping at the pushup/pull-up stations in the park when I walk the dogs with said baby in the stroller... That happens once a week if i'm lucky. But yeah, none of that makes me any faster - it just allows me to go faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 lol best quote of the day from Gavin to me was "you need less brake and more throttle, those brakes are just slowing you down" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
