42 more days as JP makes a suprising announcement about the 42!!!
Rode with homeslice for a few hours yesterday, we tossed in a few things on the ride that made my legs burn for a bit. It was all good because I was looking to log a few miles and try to keep the legs fresh for Sundays race in Hopkins.
Hopkins Crit.
The race started with a pretty good size field.
It only took a few laps before some action started as I found myself in a group of four a few seconds off the front of the field, one lap later I look back and saw that E-Rock jumped across solo to add a fifth rider in the group. We had to keep the tempo high because the field was single file behind us. The gap reached almost 20 seconds when one of our break away riders got dropped leaving E-Rock and I with two Nature Valley guys. Our gap slowly grew over the field, and I mean SLOWLY grew. After about 25 minutes of a four person rotation, the prime bell rang for us, E-Rock picked it up a little, took the prime and in doing so one of the Nature Valley riders lost contact with us and left us with a group of only three. The tail end of the group came into view motivating us to pick it up just a bit more so we could rejoin them and gaining a lap. With the main group averaging more that 27 mph, it was no easy task to get that lap.
E-Rock took the W and I took 2nd.
FINALLY, a good result for me!
42 more days, did I mention no SuperWeek for me? Yeehaw!
