Weekend Update


So this weekend was the first weekend that I have gotten to race with Team Einstein since I joined a couple weeks ago. All the strong guys were back racing after riding three stage races in the last month. A few of us had a little gathering at Brian and Randy's place Sat night in boulder. We rolled around Boulder before the race in Longmont in the afternoon, visited a couple of coffee shops and enjoyed the scenery. The race was pretty routine. Hard fast technical. It was 'L' shaped so there were lots of corners and wide roads. I think we averaged ~30mph for 75 min, which was pretty fast for me since I'm still getting used to racing with pros. A heck of alot harder than racing in Utah last weekend even though it's the same categories racing. I couldn't really do much during the race exccept try to maintain my position, which sucked when the guys were chasing the break, but they cut me some slack since I'm new. Hopefully I'll be ready to roll at the state championships in Junction next weekend.
