Rapport de course de Neshaminy

Jordan on the extended podium (6th place, far right)

Bonjour!

One of the longer-running Mid-Atlantic Super Series races took place this past weekend:  The Guy's Bicycles Neshaminy Classic.  Martin, Matt, and Jordan were there to represent in a stacked field of 34 Elite riders.  The course was it's same old awesome self, with lots of logs and tight'n'twisty singletrack, and the previous days rain kept the course nice and tacky for premium ripping. 

The start saw BMC's Kerry Warner fly off with Scott's Aaron Snyder, with Aaron's teammates Cam & John in tow.  Giant's own Jordan Kahlenberg managed to squeeze in behind the Scott train and latch on during the prologue, while Marting and Matt held steady in the pack.  After the prologue Jordan made some quick moves to establish himself in 3rd, while Martin and Matt began to trade places. 

Ripping through these trails, sometimes you feel like you're on a BMX bike, jumping and diving through trees, and over whoops.  It's hard to go slow when you're having so much fun!  And you also forget to eat sometimes, which is what happened to Jordan early on.  Despite the mental slip, he managed to recover quick and roll in 6th, with Matt in 16th, and Martin behind. 

What a great race!  The team can't wait to be back next year!
