Comments: Started about middle of the pack, they had us take off in groups of 100. On the first corner there was a major crash which I avoided but it broke me off from the lead group. I did try to bridge the gap but it was going to be difficult with not a lot of support from others. Decided to keep riding hard and I managed to join a group that got dropped from the main pack. Worked hard with this group to try and catch the lead group but the guys just didnt have the legs. We hada lot of wheel suckers hanging off the back not even attempting to help at the front. It wasnt until the home straight that the wheel suckers made a dash for the finish - too bad that none of them were strong enough to beat any of us to the line. What would you do differently?: Start at the front - I am a strong rider and I can keep up with these guys now. Post race
Warm down: 30 minute run along the Esplanade What limited your ability to perform faster: The previous days ride!! Event comments: See you again next year! Last updated: 2010-10-26 12:00 AM
