Isla Vista Crit

(Posted By Randy Bramblett)

Just wanted to touch base with you guys about Justin and I's trip to Santa Barbara....

very exhausting .. came back at midnight last night but great weather and hot chicks in bikinis at the isla vista crit was all worth it.

Saturdays Crit was in Isla Vista where all the drunk crazy UCSB kids go... fast short course and hot weather was all good - o and several big NRC guys showin up tuning up the legs before Garrett Lamire. Basically a field of 120 got blown to 36 finishers ...in a sprint that came out of a "D" shaped bend and we were all in our 53-11's going 40mph. Still working on trying to impede on a raging 8 man pro team leadout train. I was 19th ... Justin had a off day but more than made up for it the next day at Ojai taking 5th in a strong cat 2 field. That race was one of the harder Pro/1 races Ive ever done ... So I stayed at the front with the big names an hour into it ... got so dehydrated despite drinking 40 gallons of liquid and getting feeds in the feed zone ( of a crit) from Justin.. my lights went out with 20 to go.. but adding to some positiveness ...so did the lights of Ivan Dominguez and Rashaan Bahati.
