Woo-'kin-Hoo!!
EVCC road race today, 52km of hills and I f***ing won!
I'd never ridden the course and was a bit nervous cos the mountain goats had rolled up, so I attacked hard 3km's in which disintegrated D grade. I came up behind C grade, and not really knowing the rules (didn't know if we could pass higher grades) I backed orf.
That's when one of the climbers caught up and asked what I had left. (maybe wanted to go on with me? and said we could pass)
We attacked again, passing a good number of C graders and managed to drop another 2 D graders that'd latched on during the calm.

So it was me and 2 climbers going at a pretty hard pace for the remainder of the race (2x 19km laps). I think I heard them talking a few times about dropping me etc, but I managed to hang on whenever they attacked on the hills... just.

3 km from the finish there's a nasty steep climb... heard them say "count of three" and they were orf. Stayed on their wheel 'till the crest and put the hammer down for the descent. Last Km is flat, I was pushing bloody hard with one of 'em still on my wheel... rounded the corner to see the line (200m away) and sprinted. I saw him start to come around so I upped a gear and dropped him.

Definitely my biggest win to date.



Sheet my legs hurt.
