Mt Tabor series race 3, 50+, 3rd place of 14 racers:
This is a very short race - 5 x 1.3 mile laps with 140ft climb each lap, start/finish is 2/3 of the way up the climb. Despite being very short, it is usually a very hard race. Lap 2 is a prime and my teammate goes to the front and takes it, just after the prime, the rider that won the first race of the series attacked. I tried to go with, but was a little late and couldn't catch him right away. One other rider went with me so we worked together for a lap, then he couldn't hold my wheel leaving one rider up the road, me, then the group with two to laps go. On the last lap downhill I caught the rider out front and hit it hard going by so he would have a hard time holding my wheel. I stayed out in front of him, but the field was closing in and two riders at the front of the field caught me before the finish. Much fun, but I wish these races were longer.
