So I also got my first ever 1st place 🥇 at Stay Fired Up in Leavenworth KS not only did I place 1st but I was 14 minutes ahead of the 2nd place racer. However my only disappointment was there was no podium photo because I had only did the 25 mile, where the 60 & 100 miles got podium finish photos

[@TysRides]

Congratulations! Regardless of if they did a podium or not, that is definitely still a W!

[@kurt_on_dirt228]

Good Job! That's really cool Ty. I knew you were from the area but didn't know specifics. I live in Hillsboro now but grew up in St Francois County and worked in Farmington in High School.

[@TysRides]

Oh no kidding! I was at the HS from 02-06. Graduated in 06.

[@kurt_on_dirt228]

@TysRides I graduated from WC in 04.

[@msm-u3g]

Good job. I hope you still ride my old Stache.

[@TysRides]

If this is the police officer that I bought the green 2017 stache from down near Springfield, yes! I still ride that bike and still love it. I've actually been riding that bike more than my full suspension lately. I replaced the bars, added a dropper, and had a new rear wheel built since I bought it. The thing is a blast!

[@msm-u3g]

The one bike I should have kept. Your videos are great. Keep it up !

[@TysRides]

@roadglide2615 Thank you! Yes, especially since they don't make them anymore!

[@markday1714]

dude !! F*** ya congrats

[@TysRides]

LFG!!!

[@RockinatorRacing]

And you are currently the long course series points leader by 2 minutes!

[@TysRides]

I didn't realize there was a points series! Is that for all Trailnet races or just the three gravel events?

[@justinbowen5447]

@@TysRides Just for the 3 gravel events, Liinking a series score tab on The Equalizer home page today.
