Well that was fun to see quite a few Team Bikeway.com kits making a showing at Bethel today. I talked to Akil Sutton (top 20!!), George Prisco and Don Higgins, who survived the carnage of the Cat 5 race. Don stuck around after and I could hear him cheer for me every lap of the women's race, which was nice, thanks!! I saw that Eric Eckley raced with the Cat 4s with Adam Ritter, and Rivers and Justin were with the 3/4s, and Rivers then did the 1/2/3 as well. I think there were some others. Let us know how your day at Bethel went!
For me, it was a good little test to see how I felt dealing with bike handling and being back in the group after months locked into the trainer by myself. It was nice to see a pretty good group of women show up. It was dry at least, and not too cold, but the ever-present Bethel headwind on the back stretch got harder and harder through the day. Assessment: Endurance: not too bad. Top end speed: nonexistent! I had no problem staying at/on the front most of the time and closing any gaps that formed, but no jump to speak of. Time for more intervals and sprints!
