Where: Sac
Field of about 60+ Pro1/2
Who: Me, Fraga, Clint, JD, Tamel
Well- Im very happy to take my first win of the year and also the team's first. Im not usually a huge fan of this race or course... but who is right? Regardless a lotta people showed partly because of the sunny skies that day. I have to say that my training and patience is starting to slowly pay off. Those brutal port rides wit Justin and Jamiel help... A LOT. I would say EVERYONE on the team should try and make it if they can. This can be a great teamwork building arena for us. Its at 7:30pm Oakland Port. We usually meet at the SF 16th/Mission Bart at 6:30pm to depart. Ok Back to business- Big thanks to J Fraga for riding at the front the ENTIRE race which helped along with the wind to keep any breaks from forming ... We all agreed to be aggressive and and try and establish a break .. myself included... I spent several laps early on trying to form a break or bridge to a break.... but it was clear with 7 to go a field sprint was in effect .... about a 45 sec recovery was all I needed ... Would have been nice to see ALL the BPG Riders keeping things faster but its a wide course so I got right in front the last lap with ease and big thanks to JD for a killer attack with 500meters to go that caused a chase in front of me sitting 4 th wheel going into the last 200m and I just had a straight shot and waited till last 50 meters to come around James Badia (Webcor) and with a hard bike trow won by literally... a centimeter. It was for the most part a great Team race with some aggression behind it. Just the beginning. We gotta put our strengths together , especially these local races like this one.
