Crits galore!


The Chesapeake Crit was last Saturday (Thanks Pat). It was a gorgeous day, good for racing. Felt good in the pack, just need to work on getting closer to the front. Still finished 16th out of 36 starters. My homie Greg got 14th. Still seeing and feeling improvements, but wanting better finishes.
The last "training crit" in the summer series was Wednesday. Interesting format in that they only run 1 race. That means I get to ride with the big dogs! Turned out much faster than the cat 5 races so far. I held on to the middle to the back of the pack as usual, but this was a confidence booster because of the caliber of riders. Still had legs for a short sprint to the line. Not sure were I finished, back of the pack, but it was fun!
Looking forward to the "Coastal Crit" coming up Sunday the 17th at the Va. Bch. Sportsplex. Only 18 preregistered for the cat 5. Homie Greg and I representing JRVS/Casey Auto. Confidence running high! Stay tuned...
