All that over a short fight over a wheel with about 3 laps to go. I was sitting about fifth wheel and on the same wheel for at least 5 laps when this dude started to push me out.

First I told him "dont even try, this is my wheel" and pushed my elbows out to make it clear, but he wouldnt back out and kept trying so I asked him "Do you want to cause a crash?" He started to scream "this is racing". Then we were both screaming at each other. I guess those few guys in front of us got distracted by our fight as they slowed down and the whole pack just flew by us.

I finished the two laps at the back of the pack just to find this maniac waiting for me after the finish line.

35+ was fun. Fast and no non-sense BS we always have in those Cat4 crits. The wind and small field of about 50 made it even harder, but still fun. Pack finish.
