Giant (wait, wait, wait – ride fast, fast, fast) Cup

A not so ghoulish day in Dajia (hint… it’s Halloween), cool breeze, bright but not too sunny or hot. Team CR was looking sharp in top shelf kit and equipment. No matter, it was my little kids that gained most attention! We rode a warm up lap, prepared for the start. Delayed! .. and worse, only 3 laps instead of 4. Wait some more. Warm-up was long gone, time for a nap, or some lunch. Finally racing, and predictably fast.

Each of us at the front once or twice. Last lap chasing down a breakaway and caught 800M from the finish. From that point it was all about fighting for position. I decided to fight for it, and found some opportunity. 13th overall, and 2nd in my category. I felt the struggle, and was scared by some bad riders, but in the end it paid off. I’m proud of my effort.

    yeah man, Great job staying upright and going for it at the end. I was pretty spooked by the race’s history as crash fest. Am just really thankful no one on our team and Team MV went down this year.

    There was definitely some bad riding perpetrated by the usual suspects. but it gets a little better every year.
