I usually don't get too excited about races. As a matter of fact I don't stick around for the actual race. I seem to get much more accomplished during the practice rounds. This past weekend was a different story - round #1 of the Pro-GRT. Thanks to the Iceland volcano the turn out was much better than usual, and the caliber of riders was right up there with the World Cup. I'm not a racer, and no aspirations of becoming one, but I could still appreciate the skill these World Cup guys and gals bring to the hill.
Dan Atherton - 5th place
