I raced last Thursday evening in a handicapped league race. Cat 4s with a 3 min head start over the cat 3s and cats 3 having a 3 min headstart over the cat 1 and 2 riders. On lap 1 i got myself into a break of 3 ridera and stayed away for 30km of the 42km race. Some of the cat 1s caught us with 2 laps to go and the pace went up feom there. I finished 9th but i was impressed that i got on a break early and almost stayed away. Another 2 riders in our break and i say we wouldnt have been caught. Sometimes you need luck in racing. Its a start anyway and i got stuck in this time unlike my last race.
