Cyclopark 4ths

Crits at the Park – Cyclopark

So, my first race back since my lie down in January didn’t seem such a good idea when I saw 58 riders crammed on the start line.

My anxiety was prover correct during the first few laps when riders were flying off the track into the grass at every corner.

I decided the best tactic was to ride at the front as much as I could and try leave the screaming and mayhem behind me.

There wasn’t any breakaways to speak of, the pace didn’t feel that high and I felt pretty strong so with five to go I tried a push in pace, no one came with me so I sat back.

At that exact moment, a breakaway came and I tried to kick and grab a wheel. Nothing. The legs said no. Oops.

The break went and I rolled in.

Still I had a blast and have learnt a little bit more about this crazy sport.

Over and out
