Ride to heffron park plus a few laps.
Cycling race 50:00 [5] 30.0 km (1:40 / km)
Carnage carnage and more carnage.
A lot of strong riders in C grade today. Raced well today. Stayed at the back of the pack for the majority of the race. One rider got away on the second lap and was looking strong. There had been a quick lap on lap 7 but was just been towed around keeping out of the wind. With about a 50m gap to the breakaway rider and the pace slowing again I was carrying enough speed from the about mid pack and decided to jump across but soon as I hit the headwind I was hurting. Good move if I had some fitness. Pack caught up quickly. Crash on lap 12 involving a few riders at the back. Crash with B grade rider passing C grade, b grade rider just overcooked the turn went down took out a c grade rider. I went on the grass to avoid. C grade, B Grade, A grade caught all at the same time. After the couple of crashes and being passed by the higher grades back to racing at start lap 13. A grade down on the road at start lap 14 so no bell. Race extended to lap 15. 11 riders standing(about 30 started) riding 8th. Had the wrong wheel and reacted to late to a small split, closed the gap, but then the sprint started and I was starting to blow. Finished 7th in the end. Happy days
