I rode with my team from Los Angeles to Fresno for the Pine Flats Road Race. Since there were no other entrants in my junior age, I signed up for the cat 4 race. The start included a neutral climb out of the harbor, which was steep and demoralizing. I then hung on for the first 5 miles of the 52 mile race then found the shortcut to watch my teammate finish with the pack in the cat 3 group, followed by the other teammate who was off the back but finished it anyway.
