It felt great to be out and get the adrenaline pumping in my first bike race of the year.  I was a little disappointed as I just couldn’t dig as deep as I wanted but still had a good result and an improvement over last year’s race in August.  It’s early in the season and some more outdoor rides will prove useful.

I placed 5th overall out of 55 riders and 1st in my age group with a time of 29:32.

I covered 12.8 miles with an average speed of 26.14 mph.
