Stepped up and rode with the Cat 1, 2, 3's in a 35 mile training race. They allow 4's to enter this year. Rode well until the 5th of 7 laps and got in a bad spot near the rear of the 45 rider field. There were a couple attacks that strung everyone out to single file for 2+ miles, two guys in front of me popped and I bridged back up each time, another guy flatted right in front of me requiring another bridge, when the pace got back down to bunch riding I went to the front and ended up in a break which I should not have been in that blew me to pieces. The weatherman promised we would be riding in temps of 40 with a 40% chance of snow flurries so I dressed for dry weather. As soon as the race began it started raining and continued the whole race. I was shivering while riding the last lap and a half solo. I'll be back next week and will ride smarter and will stay on.
