I was in the 4's for both races. Orange and gray kit, black Giant TCR bike. I didnt get a sense of who was yelling, but there was quite a bit more than I'm used to. Otherwise, it was a good time.

Good stuff! I was in town by chance and jumped in both races as well. Slightly different racing down there than up here. Quite a bit more pack chatter/yelling and hammering of the brakes at times....

Im still not sure what the second number was for and the reg desk didn't try to explain it. A few folks didn't even bother with the second number in the earlier races.

Ugh. This was a miserable one for me. Got about 3 hours of sleep lastnight, woke up feeling pretty miserable, but decided to make the 2+ hour trip down (up and over the bay due to bridge closure)...

Awesome, I did learn by watching in the race today that having some teammates out there is pretty beneficial, so that should add to your success next year.

RedKite 3/4s. Good race overall (for me). 23/55.

Second race as a 4 and it was another 3/4 field. Quite a few teams were well represented (as in 7-8 people for 3 different teams). The pace was...

I hung around to watch a few races after the 3/4s. You were doing WORK. Amazing effort. Im sure it was hard to hear the announcer during the race (I never heard a word in mine), but he spent most of...

I hear you on the positioning. Just need to be more aggressive and defensive. I know I'm not going to outsprint anyone in the last 200m, so I need to get up there sooner and hold it.

Red Kite Cat 3/4 Crit. Nothing too special here. This was my first race as a Cat 4 and it happened to be a 3/4 race. There were 50 of us and I wasn't sure what the breakdown of 3's vs 4's was, so my...

On hot days, yes. Other days, it's not as fun getting up at 4 or 5AM to get to the race on time. The Cat4 schedule is quite appealing...

Also in the Davis 4th of July Crit. Cat 5, we were lucky enough to start at 7:30 before the heat rolled in. Fun course, technical (to me) and pretty quick. We had a crash about 5 minutes in that...

I was lucky enough to race in the 5's before it got above 100'. The hills killed me and I fell off the back changing it into a "just finish" instead of a "race" for me. I couldn't imagine racing out...
