David and Karen Henry

Did you do anything special (apart from the whole training lifestyle) to prepare for this race?

No, pretty much just recovered from the Fair Hill race.

Did you make it up all of the hills?

NO, not by a long shot!!!

What was your favorite part of the course?

The single track before the steep downhill.

Were you strong from start to finish?

No, the last lap I had some problems with cramping.

Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?

Yes, I thought that I finished in second place until I later learned that Greg F. flatted and hid along the trail leaving me to believe that he was still in 1st place.

When did you put the hammer down?

Not sure that I ever did....just rode steady.

Did you have any unusual problems?

NO

Were you happy with the way the race was run?

Yes, everything was excellent!

Is there anything you would like to add?

Thanks to Wooden Wheels for promoting the race and also to Don M and Bill D. for getting this series up and running.....good job guys!!! Also would like to thank my sponsors: Bushey's, The Phillips Group, Sutliff Autoplex and Gretnabikes.com
