Race Report - Tidewater 100 - Stephen

The race didn't start off to well. I had a 2 kick start and was next to last to the first turn luckily I snuck inside and passed several people then worked my way into third by the end of the first lap right behind the leaders. Halfway into the second lap I found my way into first place. Wally Palmer had followed me all the way and we started to separate from the rest of the field. The next lap we rode tire to tire. I got passed once but was able to get back out front and slowly pull out to a two minute lead at the checkers. It was a great race with a mix of tight and open trails with muddy spots that rutted up to make it a good tough race.
