Wolfpack Road Race

Mark, Jake, Dan & I went to NC Saturday to do a 64 mile road race. The course was rolling and there was only about 20 or so entered and by the time the race started, there was close to 60. There were several attacks early as a few teams worked to get the right guy in the break. At this time, only a few guys are able to ride a break for 50+ miles. One guy took a flier and Mark tried to catch. We rode tempo on the front, but with the head & cross winds, Mark wasn’t able to catch the lone rider who ultimately solod the entire race for the win. Time to Regroup!!
There were several attacks again and after I pulled the group up a hill at a good tempo, Mark attacked with a group of about 3. After a short break, Dan and another group followed. That was the race. Jake and I stayed with the other dozen or so riders to finish. Jake took the field sprint if I got it right.
With almost 60 starting, less then 1/3 finished.
CRC went 3rd & 5th respectively. For me – race #1 of season under the belt – I’m Sore, but pleased
