Joe Martin...one stage wonder

Our goals for Joe Martin were to use it as a training race to get ready for the other things we have on our calendar this year. We still did not expect to get Time Cut on the first day. It was a 2.5 uphill time trial so if you blink you miss the cut. We went into the stage with our eyes open and the officials have stated that next year they'll be eliminating the tc from day 1, but we are still pretty disappointed. The officials have decided to allow the tc women to race in the men's cat 3 stage race that starts tomorrow. We'll get to do the same tt again in the morning and then a 69 mile RR in the afternoon, and a crit on Sunday. While not what we'd hoped for our Joe Martin experience, we will be able to get some good training in which is after all why we are here.

  1. CRAP! That sucks! I'm sorry you guys got time cut! I would be disappointed too! Hopefully things will change next year as you say! I've still got staples in my ass. It's hell not riding but I have to listen to the Drs. Have a safe ride back! Monique
