cat 4 race...I GOT THIRD!!!!!

bridged a 3 man break with three to go, they did not wanna do much work, so i solo'd off them for the last lap and 1/4, had it pegged the last lap, over 30mph average, got caught on the line by the sprinters, photo finish....OOOOHHH SO CLOSE

Cat 4 about 70 guys, decent group, hung in the back 2 laps, got my rhythm, first prime lap cam at about lap 7, came from about 35th and pulled across a small gap of riders, right in front of my sprinter, shouted his name and ended up leading out him and another guy, my sprinter won the prime ($20 and some gear) i sat up with about 200 meters to go, figureing i would be swallowed up, and there was no one behind me for a while, i had pulled them off the front by a good 10 seconds, lol. So i was finally caught while i crawled up the hill, and resumed riding in the pack. more laps, 2 more primes, my sprinter was content to just ride in. About 5 laps to go and the attacks start, 2 or 3 guys off the front, chased and caught, rinse and repeat, cross for 3 laps to go, i am well positioned in about 10th and see a group of 3 about 10 seconds up the road, i take off and bridge, as i get to the group i yell, we have 15 seconds, if we work we win this and shake it out amongst us...so i follow for the rest of the lap climb the hill and get in second behind a junior, who is working his butt off, we crest and turn and i start my pull, now i yell, we have 20 seconds and 2 laps, lets get going....so i pull the front straight....and pull over....no one comes, i am like WTF?? i yell, is anyone going to help here?? No answer, one guy finally says, just a little furthur, totally po'ed me, but i had some legs today so i was like Whatever. finally before the hill the junior comes around, i say FU to the other two, sit on Jr's wheel till half way up the hill and hit turbo...of course the other two try to latch on, i crest and get on the gas hard, i now have about 15 sec on the field and dropped the three from my wheel, last lap and i am just hammering. down the back stretch, quick look, the 3 got swallowed, i still have 10 secs, go past the RD, he is screaming GO GO GO, you have this@!!!!! i am flat out, about 33 mph, getting to the bottom of the hill, stand and do my best sprint, here they come....it is gonna be close..... i am at about 200bpm, i am almost there.....PHOTO finish...i was caught about 4 feet short of the line by 2 guys and crossed about 2" in front of #4 for a third place finish!!! My best result ever!!!! Yay me!!!

ahhh the dynamics of a group ride. i sent an email out about leading the "B" ride for my club, actually i was asked to send it out...well kinda asked anyway, seems i have been bequeathed with now being one of the main contacts for the clubs group rides....anyway, since i am racing tomorrow, Saturday ride is an active recovery ride for me, which is basically b ride pace, group shows up, and basically i tell the group what i plan for a b ride, other ride leader says nothing about a or b rides that we will just ride as a group and it will be mostly winter base training and some hills at the end for some work....i must have a different opinion about winter base training, cause a 25mph pace line is not winter base training. So i check my ego and drop off immediatly, i have bigger plans than winning a spring group ride, one guy that i had emailed showed up for the "b" ride and was ready to turn around and go home after the first 20 mins, so i hung back with him and had a nice easy 2 hours on the bike, and he really appreciated it. the problem is if i was not there to do an easy ride, this guy was toast and probably would not have come back to our group, good way to increase participation in our club, shell the new peeps. Rant over sorry, hell no one reads this anyway, just feels good to bitch about something, gets it off my mind

Double at Bethel Tomorrow, Cat 4 at 930 and Cat 3/4 at 1pm, good luck chuck

rode outside into the dark

started out to the beach, some minor climbs, hit the beach road and TT'd it in, i was holding almost 30mph for about 3 miles, came back out after 5 min rest and did it again, little slower. came home some more small climbs, legs were a little crampy in the calves, i was in a rush and probably did not warm up properly.
