Overall Place: 7th Place / 10

Race Recap By Rick Wise:

I had a decent season opener of the Northern Ohio Mountain Northern Ohio Mountain Bike Series (NOMBS) at Camp Tuscazoar yesterday. It was my first race back after SI joint problems forced me to end last year’s season early. Unfortunately, I got tangled up with two other riders in the Sport/Cat 2 mass start, causing two of us to unclip, remount, and start from the back of the pack. I’m not confident I would have placed any higher even if I had a clean start. I finished 7th out of 10 in the 50+ Sport/Cat 2 age group. I was slower than last year, but still rehabbing the back/SI joint and haven’t been able to train as much this year, so I’m satisfied with the result. Already looking forward to the next race.
