rolling into bootown.

so at about 9am saturday morning i decided i should probably go do the richmond roller road race.
there were a few reasons for this; but number one was that i had nothing better to do, and it was a surefire way to make sure i got on the bike and got some riding in. (which has been lacking lately).

all was ok, climb was not too bad, (at least no one was doing it alot faster than i was), and the rest of the course was chill.
apparently no one in the 3/4 field knows what to do in a crosswind, besides ride single file along the yellow.

all you need is one little echelon and 8-10 guys are up the road and gone for good.
oh well, good for me i guess. i didn't realize the turn was coming up so soon and wasn't in great position going into the crosswind anyway.
so the gutterballin' was fine by me, and after that section i made my way to the front and stcuk there...

...until i flatted.

bootown.

oh well. first flat ever in a road race or crit in 4 years of racing... no complaints.

square lake is next.
love the hill, or it will eat you alive.

new (dis)feature!
video monday!
