NVGP Wrap up

The Nature valley grand prix wrapped up in stillwater on sunday and the crit they host every year did not fail to deliver. Both races were unbelievable ( see last years posting for more awe driven pros).



The Story this year like last was Kristen Armstrong. She pulled the front the entire race then took a break of three away then with two to go dropped them and rode away to a solo victory. She is unbeatable... amazing.


This is the break with three in it.

The mens race was great don't get me wrong.. The speed of it is so far beyond anything, it is hard to have any sense of it if your not there to see it up close. It's truly shocking, to the point it's difficult to even perceive them as human beings, it's just to fast for a human being.




21% grade at 30+ mph = ouch!











Dethroned Floyd Landis was here for the race. He was sort of in the middle of it all week but not dominating.


All in all very inspiring and just plain fun!

In my personal racing-ness... I am thinking of racing ... maybe tonight ((crit) biting my nails), if not then thursday (mountain bike race)

I'll have some video of the minneapolis uptown crit soon.

Ciao
