Nice job, Eden! Sounds like your team is doing well in putting together and executing a strategy.
Race season for us starts next month. I am captaining our Cat 4 team this year, but with the diverse skill sets, am not sure how well any of our "strategies" will play out. Plus, I still need some more base miles!
Good luck next weekend. Be sure to let us know how it goes.

Yeah - this year has been a lot of fun so far. Last year I was getting pretty good results, but for the most part I was on my own in a lot of races, so I learned a lot about how to sit in or work in a small break.... We have more strong/experienced riders this year so be able to have a strategy and execute it is a lot of fun. I have to enjoy it while I can... I really should upgrade pretty soon and I'll be going to just hanging on if I can.

Way to go Eden
How exhilerating to get a good paceline going in a race - to chase down attacks... this is something I still look forward to - in the grade I have been moved on I just do my best to hang on to the back and not get dropped.
Thanks for the narratives... love to read about others races
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
