Race
Report
by Brett Cleaver
Despite
the heat, we headed down to FBF and managed to have
ourselves a pretty good race. It was a pretty fast pace and a
break of
8-10 went pretty early. I managed to bridge up to 3 stragglers
that
had dropped back from the break and brought a guy with me. We
then
went on to pick up 2 more guys that had fallen of the pace of the lead
break. The 4 of us worked together for almost 3 laps when an
Organic
Athlete rider (Eric I think) bridged up to us and really helped us pick
up the pace. At that point we had 2 laps to go and merely wanted
to
stay away from the pack, it didn't seem possible to catch the lead
group of 5. Regardless, we pushed on, trying to keep the pace
high. I
might have worked a bit too hard and had nothing left for the sprint-
coming in last from our group of 5, but 10th overall. Certainly
my
best FBF performance this year though! |
