Derby

On Wednesday for the derby 8 of the Rite Aid Guys showed up. Immediately at the turn around they went. The 50 person group completely shattered. The 8 rite aid guys, Kyle Womsley, me, and two other locals were in the break. Rite Aid kept on the front the whole way back. It was the fastest derby I have ever been on. I ended up third in the sprint. It was pretty cool to take third with 9 out of 12 riders in the break being pro.

Branch Brook 1,2,3 and Training Crits

Last weekend I race in Newark, New Jersey. I raced the 1,2,3 and finished tenth. The race came down to a sprint. And in the training crit last weekend I finished 6th but raced really well. This weekend I just did the training crit, i got in the first break with Billy Ellison and Kyle Womsley we stayed away unntil about 15 to go when 5 other riders from the chase group bridged up. All together Womsley, Ellison and I stayed away for about 25 laps then the chase caught us. I dropped back to the field after a sprint when I blew with 8 to go. The break lapped a field a couple of laps later after I went back to the group. Therefore I probably finished around ninth because of the 20 point bonus for the leaders. I also got the BH and it is Bad Hass. Well thats it.

Training Crits and Good Weather

There is one more of the industrial park training crit and each week the weather is getting better and better. It was about 45 degrees on sunday and hardly any wind. There was a break of about 5 that stayed away. I took second in the first sprint, and won the field sprint of about 35. Thats pretty much it.

Sunday Crits

The first races of the season are kicking off up here in Pa. They are mostly training crits, which are always really and cold, but it is exciting that racing is finally here. Besides that no big news up here.
