My Last 45+ Championship
The photo below was December 2, 2007 at the Blue Ridge cyclocross race and verified my third consecutive 45+ cyclocross state championship, which had actually been won the week previous but among a much less competitive field.
This victory was ninth of ten Masters Georgia state championship. Five times in the Time Trial ('99, '00, '01, '03, '09), two times in the Criterium ('99, '02) and three times in Cyclocross ('05, '06, '07).
It would have been nice to win the Georgia Road Race championships once but instead scored a long line of second and third places over the years.
Eventually I graduated to the next age group and last year won the Masters 55+ Time Trial and scored another second place at the Road Race champs. So the RR champs continues to elude.
