Get A Grip Cycles Employee and Helicopter EMT Wins First Bike Race

The members of the team would like to congratulate Geoff Scott for winning the category 4 B race of the third round of the Chicago Cross Cup.

Geoff gave us the lowdown on his first cycle race:

The race started out really fast and there were at least five lead changes in the first few laps. I hung in there until there were only two of us left. I realized that I was coming out of the corners much faster than my break-mate, so when we got into the woods on the last lap, I just gunned it out of one corner and established a small gap. From then on I was riding scared. I put my head down and buried it to the line for the win.

When he is not riding his bike or helping out at the bike shop, Geoff works as an EMT on one of the University of Chicago hospital's emergency helicopters.
