Pat won the hearts of many by pedaling faster than anyone on Saturday at the Square Lake RR. He did it the big boy way by initiating the winning break, then attacking it to solo in for the win. The kid is coming around. Glad he's on my side.
Sunday we had a good time at the criterium pedaling race in St. Cloud. It was a fun day for most of us. We don't really warm up for races so early on we had a TTT off the front of the group it was a bit difficult because none of us were all that ready to go. Besides, it was pretty tough off the front because of the wind. Later on the final selection was made, we had 3.5 guys in the 7 rider group...not bad. I was now feeling warmed up and ready to race, so when the charging chase would bring the break closer I was hoping it would be within striking distance to where I could solo up to the break. But the chase never really got going. Pat and Adam gained a lap on the field with about 6 laps to go. I went to the front to keep the pace rolling to make sure no one else gained a lap. I pulled off before the final turn and let Pat and Adam decide what to do. Adam won, Pat was second.
Should be a fun week of biking...Giro D'kota Tek stage #2 on Tuesday, fixed gear biking on Thursday at the track, then some fireworks on Friday in Northfield.
