I raced yesterday at Longbranch in the Men's category 4 State Champs road race. It was a rolling course with a 1.5km steep climb in the middle - 4 laps 42 miles. Field was 47 riders. The weather was great, and although there were a few breakaway attempts, we pretty much stayed together for a sprint fininsh. I got a good lead out from a couple of Wines of Washington riders, but a Starbucks rider jumped hard, and I couldn't catch him. Still, 2nd is a great result for me at this stage of the season, and I now have half the points I need to upgrade to cat 3. I'm also leading the cat 4/5 men midweek series after a win last Tuesday at Seattle International Raceways. Pics to follow!
As promised. In the bunch:
Sprint finish! It looks like I am leading here, but that shadow up ahead is the leader and winner - I never caught him...
