a beautiful day for a bike race, too.
i don't have a lot to say about the race, except that i was happy to even finish in the heat.
the shocker is that it was, i believe, my best road race finish all year.
the team plan was to not worry about the little things, and to be a any big move that started to form.
and mainly just to finish in the group. we are a bunch of trackie sprinter types.
if a few guys got away, we weren't too concerned. we were looking to the sprint, even if it was for 4th or 5th.
turned out to be for 5th.
little guy was there but would finish 6th in the sprint, leaving him with 11th overall, after a crash delayed his path to the line. he avoided going down, but gave up all hopes for the line.
a good day for lgr no-the-less, with 3 top 15 finishes in the cat 3 race, and a top 5 courtesy of the proprietor in the 4/5 race.
stellar.
here is a photo essay of the race:
it was hot, but i managed to keep my cool at the front(ish) end of the race.
sr was not so lucky.
i am hoping the next race has a wax prime so we can get him to the line for it.
lalla was hampered by mechanicals all day, and was forced to drop out after no one could provide him with a 5mm hex.
better luck next time, mike!
oh, and bantle screwed the pooch, again.
fpa ran a smoove race, and life is good.
track crap next weekend, then avon.
then cx.
