Race 4 of the Wednesday 50+ Mt. Tabor races - 3rd place. The field was smaller this week with several stronger riders skipping it to do a stage race this weekend, so I favored my chances for a 2nd win. But, the race was slower, and nobody wanted to make it harder but me. As a result, I guess I did a bit too much work on the front, and also sprinted for a t-shirt prime. In the end, I still felt strong, but got impatient and went a bit early on the final sprint and was passed by one guy that I beat pretty easily in previous weeks, and another guy that hadn't raced the series yet this year. I'm sitting in 1st place in series points with 2 races to go.

In the 40+ there were plenty of attacks making the race hard enough that I didn't work and sprinted in for 6th in the end. My best finish in 40+ this year but a little boring compared to trying to go alone with a lap or two to go and blowing up (like the previous two races).

All great fun.
