Thankful. Thank you all for the messages, I appreciate the support!!

The legs and body were good today. Final 3 turns of the race POV from my @oakleymeta glasses. 

I tried to race a super smart race and only use energy when needed. Thank you to my teammate Berry Rohling for bringing back one of the really dangerous moves mid-race, which allowed me to monitor from there.

I also had a goal of coming out of the final turn 4th or 5th wheel. I think I was 6th or so ๐Ÿ˜Š. 

Thank you to our amazing partners who help make it all possible. GB

Three things are a guarantee. Death, taxes and cyclists lying to you!!

Don't get caught up in titles or people's titles, especially in this era where everyone is this or that in this social media-crazy age.

I haven't touched or done any real rides since last Monday, and I plan to do so this week as well, as I let my body rest and recover; I have no problem losing fitness after pushing my body for several months straight. So when I get back on the bike and you see me struggling, just know it is intentional ๐Ÿ˜Ž. GB taken in Los Angeles, California by @charonlsmith

Building killer teams since around 2010 or more, 16 consecutive plus yrs of success as a team leader while performing at a high rate as a racer too is not the normal route. 

When I assembled this team, it was done carefully. These are a small portion of our riders; we lost Berry for the last two days, but we didn't skip a beat as a four man unit. I didn't finish the last day as I was battling a stomach bug all series only the team knew about ๐Ÿฅด, but I still managed to finish 3rd overall due to my earlier result in the series. 

The field was loaded with current and past National Champs. My love for building teams is something I enjoy. Jadon can ride away on any day; he is the most selfless and kind person you can meet. Lee is soft-spoken and a absolute unit; Tyler is our wild card. He's there to cause complete chaos. No matter the plan, he always says, "I got it". Then goes and set off every fire alarm he can ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜ญ.

We didn't have goals we set for targets as every race we line up in is a target on race day.

My favorite part is having our competition complement us on how we race clean but keep the race hard while racing as a team. More vibes to come. The season is over for the boys but the BTS continues for me for 2027. 12 month season as a owner operator. GB by @charonlsmith

That's a wrap on @gatewaycupstl! Couldn't ask for a better weekend; we went 4 for 4! That's crazyโ€”we won every day, won the overall, and I was able to finish 3rd overall with the wild man winning 1st for the series. 

Shout out to the boys @double.j.squiggles, @lbumgar1, @berryrohling, and @tylerlockecycling. So impressed with the team this year. GB

The boys have made all this possible. I may cross the line first, but this is not possible without tremendous help from @double.j.squiggles, @tylerlockecycling, @lbumgar1, and @berryrohling. With our experience and race craft, very little panicking is happening; everyone has taken pulls of the rope.

I am super proud of our 5-man wrecking crew, especially with the depth of talent in the field here at @gatewaycupstl Day 2 Saint Francis Park.

This 100-degree-plus St. Louis heat ๐Ÿฅต is making guys pay late for their efforts. Patience and hydration are super important. GB

Going first and second at @gatewaycupstl against stacked teams and very talented current and past National Champs is wild. I surely was not expecting it. Here's a little glimpse inside the final run-in to the line. GB
