 Niigata Hill Climb. I did some good rides on Yahiko prior to the event. A hard effort but slower than training the week before. (This year I will be looking at my training much more closely) Result: 9th
 JBCF Minami Uonuma RR. I did a good ride here in training too. Had a cold on race day. Was active but couldn’t go as fast as I wanted on the last climb. Result: 16th

October
 JCRC Gunma CSC (120 km). Had 2 friends in the break up the road. Sat in the bunch until they were dropped from the break. Jumped the group on the last lap. Finished alone behind the 3 survivors of the breakaway. Happy with the effort. Result: 4th
