Finishing my first ever race. Boulevard Cat 5 in SoCal about a month ago. My goals were not to crash and hopefully not get dropped. Finished 19th. Not great but I was happy with it

Nice pic! That's a teammate of mine just behind you. Those of you out-of-state: don't be fooled by winter weather in this pic. This is the best the weather has been in many years for this race. Last year it snowed.

True. I drastically over dressed for this race. I was born in the tropics so I'd rather be hot than cold. The weather was PERFECT. It was high 50s - low 60's in early February, clear and sunny. Couldn't ask for more. The very next weekend it was in the 20's and snowing. We lucked out!
