Yep same here, doing the 4/5 along with my friend Mike. I however have not been feeling to great yesterday and today, so tomorrow performance is to be determined. I figure worst case, put down 1 lap and if I am not feeling great just call it a day there.
Also have a Crit on Sunday morning down in Richmond VA, so we will see how things shape up this weekend.

Ha, yeah I am looking forward to that crit and Ride Sally Ride the fallowing weekend. I am a crit machine :lol:.

I have seen that kit at races in the past, I was actually right behind 2 guys in BBC kits at last weekends RFK Cat 5 crit. I was and will be wearing my Blue Competition Cycles kit with matching Blue Completion Bike (Both colored blue hens the company name ha)

One of the toughest races I've done. Managed 8th place in the 4/5. I need to train more.
Glad to see them enforcing the yellow line rule.

Good times today. The first lap was sketchy, accordion affect for every roller and a wheel car parked on a blind descending corner with no shoulder.... :twitchy: Not a big fan of an uphill finish; it really hurt :thumb:

Ended up DNF due to my front derailleur not wanting to shift down on the first climb. To bad cause I was really feeling pretty good this morning.

Ahhh.... that was you? I saw someone was having a hell of a time shifting to the small ring on one of the climbs.

I really wish I could have come out for this, but my parents wouldn't have been to happy being dragged to a race 2 hrs away for the first weekend I've been home in months haha. I've been feeling awesome on the bike lately as well.

Next time, kick it.

:lol: Yep that was me. I was like "no way, this is not happening" fallowed by "This is happening", fallowed by hand in air :( . In either case stuff happens, I made up for it today at the Brayn Park Crit. Also meant to introduce myself, but you disappeared at the end. Met a couple of the other guys on the forum so that was pretty cool.
Next time, kick it.
I wish that would solved the problem but it would just not shift down and next thing I know they were all up the hill already and the wheel car was already there.
That said I was able to recreate the problem last night at home, so I was happy I was not imagining things. Think its a cable lub issue but still am messing with it a little.
