Hello? Is anyone out there? Are we posting reports any more?

Just Paul and I at the race, along with 35 other hardy souls. Everyone must be on vacation, or everyone else was in New Britain?

I had a little bone to pick with this race…well, not the race specifically, but with me at the race. Long story short..great day, great race, can’t wait for next year…

The race can be summed up by Westwood vs. Targetraining (and Westwood won). Both had 5 riders in the field. After a couple go-nowhere attacks, David Freifelder (Westwood Velo) TT’ed to a 2+ minute lead staying away until the middle hill on the last lap, 2.5 laps solo. Nice riding! Eddy A., Badger, Max L. all did a lot of chasing to keep the gap down, then we scooped him up on the last lap.  Paul popped on the hills in the second lap, but got back on by the big descent, then popped for good in the feed zone on the last lap. I felt great, and had no problems save a little struggle on the middle hill the second lap when the “field” (25 riders) split a little. I even put in a little dig after the catch on the last lap but didn’t get far. There were about 20 riders left at the base of the finish climb and I just rode my own tempo and picked off a few by the top for 15th. Should have stuck with it mentally and tried to hang with the pack a bit longer but…I had won my personal battle for the day and pretty much rode it in at survival pace.

So…what happened at New Britain???
