Crit #6
OK, the last thing I want to do is turn this into another "bitch" session. Having said that, I'll tell you about tonight’s edition of the crit.
First, it was very windy which created a head wind on the back stretch. Second, there was an all out attack on the neutral lap, which by the way set the tone for the rest of the ride. Attack after attack went off and the field worked reasonably well bringing it all back together.
One pivotal moment happened about 30 minutes in when a huge attack went up the right side of the front stretch. I was positioned well to the left and behind two ass holes that simultaneously "sat up" and started chatting about God knows what. Probably about each others......I better not go there!!!
Anyway, we (about 4 of us) spent the rest of the 25 minutes trying to bring it back but the group, now up the road a couple hundred yards, had the right mix of riders in it to stay away.
The lead group had probably 8-9 in it. Thanks to a great lead out after turn #4 by Rob R. I managed to win the field spring. So, I'm guessing I finished about 10th. Hey, I'll take it considering the first 9 were a pretty solid group.
Next week I have to travel to my corporate office. Catch up on #8.
