Good times on tarmac

The ride at Arkansas went well - got 14th out of a field of 38. One big hill seperated the men from the boys and I fell into the latter catagory!!! Sprinted to the end as hard as my tired legs would carry me. Good experience of riding in a group though and I'm still glad that I missed the guy that crashed's head by a few inches - could have been nasty.

April 4th was the Oklahoma City RedBud Classic 2009. 50 mile tour that took me 2hours and 37 minutes - only 20 minutes behind the lead pack and my workmate Joey Mesa (Foss1l Racing). Sucky headwind from the south for most of the ride though - 30-40mph gusts and I had no-one to hide behind/work with. Ah well - live and learn!

April 8th (tonight) is a circuit race out at Lake Draper. I pre-rode it this morning and there's a nasty hill finish which I hit in totally the wrong gear! Must try better tonight!
