Saturday was the Coborug Crit which I was really excited to do cause it was a local race and a lot of home town people were going to be there. With the Crit just being an hour plus 5 laps I decided to ride from Peterborough down to the race, a nice solid 60km warm up. Now standing at the start line I started looking around at who was here, I actually ended up getting nerves cause big names like Mark Walters, Aaron Fillion, Anthony Walsh had showed up making this not so easy. In the first few lap a group of four riders had just ridden off the front and established a gap of 40seconds pretty fast. The field had looked to Fillion, myself and a couple others to bring it back. At this moment it reminded me how much it sucks racing without a team. Half way into the race I was able to get off the front with one other guy and bridge across the gap to the break. Now being in this situation a few times throughout the season I’ve always played a winning breakaway out too defensively so instead I went on the offensive this time splitting the group in half each time until it was Walsh and myself in a two man lead with one lap. I knew you had to be the first guy into the final corner and then it’s just hang on to it. That’s what I did with a enough of a gap to put my hands in the air.
