New Bethlehem Crit (Cat5) this morning.
Felt pretty good through warm up and lined up at the front. Stayed 4th wheel through the first few turns. LOTS of braking though through the turns due to poor road surface. I took an outside line to avoid braking halfway through the first lap and found myself on front. They say attack when you're here so I jumped and brought another smaller guy with me. We worked pretty well together and held a gap for almost a lap until this gorilla sized guy bridges up and counter-attacks when he gets to us. I'm spent so I try to recover a bit in the pack. Unfortunately for me though this was your typical Cat 5 pack with people all over the place testing your brakes and your concentration. Sat in here for a while and eventually tried my up the outside move again. It worked, but by then I was burning pretty bad and was eventually dropped off this group. Suffered in no mans land until about 5 to go when a group that got split off early picked me up. Finished 26th out of 30.
