Tour of Bahamas Race Report

Decided to do the masters race this year since the miles have been few and far between . I “thought” it would be much easier than the pro 1/2 which would have been the case had I sat in and not raced it . Instead it turned into one frustrating, but fun race weekend . There was a decent sized field including two teams that had 5 or 6 riders each consistening of what appeared to be good cat 2’s. I got 3rd in stage one TT and then couldn’t breath in the next two stages without one or two of them sitting on my wheel refusing to work . They rode well together as a team . Fell to 4th overall GC when Dave Osborne nipped me in a sprint for bonus time .
Oh well , fun time , sun burn and great time with my lady and Bens new team(Kelly) ...a great bunch of guys .
Ben had an unfortunate mechanical in the road race (he was in the winning move) and with no support had to DNF – bummer . He got 10th in the circuit race and was positioned for a good GC result ….oh well it’s a long season .
