Barry-Roubaix

Had a good time racing this weekend, well if you want to call it racing. It was a fun course, and turned out to be about perfect weather and road conditions. I guess I should of tried to go faster, 106th place out of 129! I did get stuck at a road crossing for about 3 minutes, and pulled over once to grab some enduralytes, but I was expecting a much better placing than that. I guess I held off too much throughout the race and could of pushed it harder. I came in to the finish feeling quite strong and pulling about 6 people. I think I was expecting better based on the amount of people that I passed on the course, I guess it was deceiving. Oh well, it was still a good time.

Spring?

What a perfect day to get out on the bike. 43 miles of hilly dirt roads, no mud and it was warm. What else can you ask for? We found some "new" dirt roads that will be a part of my normal route now that I know what is out there.
