February 2 Rides

[RoadRaven]

Saturday = race day

So I did a 37km circuitt race on my Saturday... Its 3 laps and the last two times I have raced and completed this course I was dropped in the first half of the first lap.
I was not dropped until half way through the second lap this time, so I feel really good about it. An excellent intense training ride for me, and with my warm up and cool down I was able to log 55km on BikeJ.

My partner was 3rd in his grade, and my 14yo was 2nd in his. There was a big crash about 15 bikes went down) in my son's grade on the last corner before the finishing straight so was very relieved that that he was NOT brought down. He was pleased that none of his cycling mates were hurt - we had to do a ring around of a few we hadn't seen finish just to check up.
Two were taken away in an ambulance with minor injuries, and it is always a strange sigh of relief one breathes when one realises the ambulance is not for one of your own.
