TNWC #1

Good race tonight. I wanted to try to make it hard so I kept throwing in (suicidal) attacks. Not a great idea to attack with the pack going 26mph but hey--it's a training race. After a couple of these I chilled for a while.

With about 10 min to go everyone went into major cat and mouse mode...waiting for the move. I knew a hard attack would just get instantly chased so I eased up the side and slowly rode away...once I had 30m I drilled it. I got a huge gap and was cruising but as I came up to 2 laps to go I started looking back and doing the math...could I hold it? That's always the question. I pulled the plug which probably was a mistake.

Oh Well...it all came together at 1 and a half then Jed put in a massive attack followed by Ladd, Marc W. and myself. As I saw Ladd close it I thought to myself "COUNTER!!!" which is exactly what he did and he cruised to an easy win. I tried to close the gap to him in the last kilometer but he-strong-like-bull and I was a bit fried from my earlier solo foray.
