Saturday race report

I am a bike dork.

But yesterday was an awesome race between me and Devin in our second moto. He was gate 3 and i was gate 8. He had the inside line into the first berm and we both rode really hard. He got ahead of me with a low move in the first turn. We both came out of the first turn with equal speed and he had the inside line again (little did he know about riding high in the second berm and being able to shoot out of it into the thrid straight). So we rode the second straight going as fast as we could... second berm, I pedal around the top and he takes the low inside line. I cut down early in the berm so I am coming out with a ton of speed.. we drag race down the third straight which is huge and super fast now... Devin still on the inside, me riding the outside and trying to focus on the next berm because that is where the race will be won and lost. we come over the doudle into the third turn and Devin cuts way below me and rides to the end of the berm. I am caught above him in the berm and have to brake check super hard in order to avoid making contact with him. We both almost come to a stop and from there it is another drag race down the last straight. super rhythm and super flowly. Way fast too. So we hit it hard, Devin on the outside this time and me on the inside. We are pedaling like crazy bastards out of the last turn and we hit the first three rollers with Devin a bike length ahead of me... we blast over the table top and I am catching up and almost passing him. roller step... we are even... step down... over the step down I pedal and throw my momentum forward as we both manual over the last two rollers. as we are crossing the line both throwing our bikes I hear one of the line judges call out "Lexy" and bam! race over. I had beat Devon by no more than 6 inches. I am not kidding six inches. fucking awesome! and then we all go out for mexican after an awesome photo shoot.
