Comments: I haven't been entering race reports for cycling races, but I thought I might start, just in case there are others interested in road racing who would like descriptions of these events. I've been racing Cat 5 and should have enough races this year to upgrade soon. The description that follows is from the Cat 5 criterium, which was 25 minutes long.
I raced the Gainesville criterium today, Cat 5. I warmed up for longer than the race. :)
It was a gorgeous day and I drove down to Gainesville in the Century. I had my training bike, the $100 Leader frame, with the Powertap and the Hed Jet wheels. I've been training on a set of Tufo tubular clincher tires, which have been very tough so far, and have the advantage of allowing you to run very high pressures with no pinch flat or sidewall blowout risks. I knew the course was going to be rough today so I figured I'd race on these.
Warmed up on Ro's trainer and pre-rode the course between races. It was a rectangle, 4 turn course around
