Ontario #1

This here is the dual crits I did up in Ontario the weekend before last. Interesting to see that the average speeds and powers for the 3's race and the M30+ race were very similar. 'Cept, you'll see that the speed of the second one was not as variable, eh? Much smoother in the old farts race!

Anyway, felt pretty good in the threes race, basically just hung out and covered any moves that had representation of each of the bigger teams - I don't know any of these guys, so if the break has a good mix of jerseys, i reckon I need to cover it. Big long drag race to the finish line, and I got boxed in real good - if I was a real sprinter I'd have found a way to slip through some cracks and unleash my mega 1150 watt sprint, but nay, I don't have cajones that big...

30+ race started slow and was on the right wheels when the winning move went. Karl Bordine drove it hard, and I knew it was the move... Problem was that my left leg was just not cooperating - I basically have to stop pedaling in order to manage some pain I am experiencing when trying to give it full stick. It's not quite right...

I watched the break go, and that was that. Drag raced it to the finish, and with the headwind, managed to sneak into the top 10 of the field finish. Maybe top 15 on the day...

Lots of fast riding on that circuit - and lucked out with the weather - rained all morning, but for both of my races the road was dry.
