5th.
Attacks going here and there, 2 laps to go, and some old guy from a team nobody recognized rode away. Didn't seem like a threat, but I put in work on the front to keep it in check.. guy got away and eventually won, damn.
Main marked guy flatted out, left 6 or so of us racing for 2nd. At the top of the last roller before the line I was 3rd wheel. Nobody had jumped yet, and with 200m to go I jumped and tried to hold it.. couldn't.. legs gave out about 20m before the line, 3 guys came around.
1 more point in the bucket, and $20. And I hung with some biggish dogs of the norcal peloton, so that was cool too.
lol. your podium shot is on my facebook feed! have fun with the old guy who rode away, he just moved from my area to yours. his wife won the women's race, she's my team mate. they're great bicycle racers and even better people.
