Ryan is on fire

Sunday was the start of Cyclo-Cross season.  The first race was in Bloomington and Ryan was awesome.  He did 2 races, the first race was age 35+ Masters and he finished 1st out of 49.  The second race was Cat 4/5 and he finished 6 out of 77, and 4th in his class.  It was a beautiful day for Cross!

Ryan is on the hunt-down.

What??!

Taking the lead.

Ryan finished the first race with a 29 second lead!

Smiling after being heckled.  This was at the sand pit, and they said Ryan must feel right at home in the sand.  The hecklers were referring to "sand-bagging", or racing in a category that is too easy for you.  Ryan isn't sandbagging because he doesn't have the points yet to upgrade to the next category.

The crazy start of the second race with 77 racers.

On the podium for his 1st place win.
