April 4 Plainville Crits

OK race #1- Cat 4-5 open ( my 8th race)

Windy as all hell - DID I SAY IT WAS WINDY..

Ok I don't want to forget that it was WICKED windy..

Moving on to the race it was REAL Real real WINDY.

Attacks often and hard the first 6-8 laps + we were racing at a very fast pace ( for me ) pace almost all 25 MPH +++. A woman in the group kept causing gaps then we would have to fight back to the front group which was fighting to catch the breaks. Soooo for the first time I got dropped and lapped right near the end of the race. It hurt riding laps alone out in the 30+ MPH wind.


Race #2 Cat 4-5 39+ ( my 9th race towards cat 4)

Still WINDY as hell ………………….

Race goes off group just not pushing real hard then ……… The attacks start - One after another and the group responded to each one for laps + laps of this pain… Then a few guys got way AWAY and that was it the group sorta sat up and we went round + round. Some counters attempted but none stuck. It ended up with one lone break away guy and two more followers, then the group…

No Idea how I did way back in the pack.. I’m sore as all get out more then normal ! Must have been the WIND….

DID I say it was WINDY ???
