Well. I would love to say that I represented mountain bike racers well and showed those roadies what is up, but there is a reality.

I love local racing and I work pretty hard myself to make sure we have some, so when the local road team reorganized and decided to put on a new event, which by the way used to be scheduled the same day of the Big Sandy Race and they moved it, I knew I should at least sign up. I went back and forth about racing it, and I ended up signing up for an extra class once I saw the course. It was pretty short and fast and I figured I had better race more classes if I want more than a ten minute race.

It was a nice morning, a little warm but no wind. I warmed up, talked to a bunch of people and then they were lining up. I sat in the back, since I have only raced one crit before and I haven’t been on my road bike much all spring, too much great mountain biking, We all left pretty easy. Oh good it would be okay. Well into the second corner the pace picked up. I sat on the back still trying to figure out what was going on in the corners, but that was a big mistake. I suffered back there, the pack surged and I would lose my draft, then fight to catch up and then lose my draft. Over and over for ten minutes before I was off the back. I spent ten more minutes fighting alone without anyone in sight. Were were the leaders, they should lap me soon? I did want to keep the workout going, so I stayed at the fastest I could maintain. The pack finally brought me in and I was done. Thank god. I was ready to be done. 

This had me more than a little concerned about my next race. it was 40 minutes, but I was determined to stay in the pack as long as possible, plus no one expected anything from me now. I was the idiot riding alone. So I warmed up, I borrowed a trainer, but that was just a sweaty experience, why would they do that? So I rode around until it was time. This time I moved to mid-pack for the start and forced my way into the group. If I can follow a wheel down a rutted rocky course, I can hold a line in an industrial park. So I sat there about twenty people in. I recovered when the pack slowed and I attacked out of every corner, gaining and losing position, but holding. At one point the pack splintered, and the guy in front of me decided to catch the first group of ten. I jumped on his wheel, thinking well I can recover when we regroup, well he fell off about half way there, leaving me in front of what turned out to be the entire back pack, and they wouldn’t let me drop. So I sat there suffering for two laps before I finally lost enough speed for someone else to decide to pull. We pulled them in, I was able to recover and it was back to racing. 

There were a couple of loose cannons out there, taking odd lines and people yelling at each other, but it was a pretty good group overall and some light conversation, which was welcome as roadies are dead serious. There were way too many premes. Every time they rang that stupid bell, I knew it was going to hurt. It was like a joke near the end. Out of the last seven laps there must have been 4 or 5 premes. I was sitting in the top ten for the last few laps and let me say it was like being upgraded midflight from coach to first class. Way smoother racers, more room in the corners. but then that final lap bell went off, my legs cramped like a pavlovian response to the preme bells and the guys actually started racing. I was just happy to finish, about 30 minutes in Fernie says we only have 10 minutes and I was happy to still be there. So I was sitting with O’Roarke and Victor rounding corner three onto Ingram, and going into the final corner, O’Roarke was in front and Victor on the outside when he anda guy in a cvc (white) kit when down hard. Someone yelled ” don’t look at it” and we rolled into the finish. I was looking at it, the cvc guy endoed and rolled like two times before stopping. I heard Victor broke his collarbone but not sure if that is true.

I was happy to finish, hung out and talked to a few people, then realized there must be results. They were listed by numbers and I had to look up my number but I got 20th (the last place they even recorded) so I was happy. I am looking forward to getting to Big Bear next week, Syd already confirmed. so John we will see you Saturday.
