Explode on the hills, and one after another stop, and get off, and walk up. I passed probably 100 riders on the one really big hill. I guess I shouldn't have stopped for lunch, then they wouldn't of gotten around me. lol. We have some really fun riding down here. Needles to say, I was ready for everything encountered down south of CBUS.
I remember doing a race in Hocking Hills a few years back, what a mess. A lot of people got lost, including everyone in the cat 4/5 race that hadn't been dropped. The course was not marked well at all, contrary to what the race director tried to say. Anyway, on one of the climbs a guy went around me really fast then pulled right in front of me. Next thing I knew he was unclipping and almost took about five of us out in the mean time. It was a rough day. The person that won the race was actually dropped a mile or two into the race.
