This Saturday was the first race of the season! Plainville Spring Series race #1
The feeling is always strange going into the first race. Nervous, Don't know what to expect, Who's fast, Who's slow? Are you fast? slow?
Well, now we know.
The fist race went off at 9am. Joe P. went to that race and took 3rd! Someone got carted off in a ambulance with a broken collar bone! Joe P. was flying the CCR colors in that race solo cuz the team was more focused on the 3/4 race at 10 this week.
GREAT JOB JOE P. (Joe also raced the 10am race as well!)
Now on to the 10:05 race.
The riders from our team were:
Joe P.
Joe K.
Ken
Maison Chen
Dillon
And this is how the cookie crumbles.
The race was fast with some big names showing up. The avg speed was 26+
Dillon couldn't hang :(
Joe P was tired(from the 9am) but held his own.
Ken was in watch mode, he did well.
Maison was on good form and will be a force to recon with.(as long as he gets his zzzz's)
Joe K. was on from, coming off his 12 week off season training regimen (I'm doing it next winter). Whatever he did, it works!
He pulled in a break with 9 to go and then proceeded to ride away from a bunch of strong riders with half a lap to go. The other guys were looking around like "who's gonna pull me to the line" but when Joe K had 600m left he said "why is everyone going so slow? I'm outty" and Rode away from the peleton like it was in quick sand!
Nice 1st place from Joe K.
There was a broken Collar bone in the 3/4 race as well!
Today's count
2 broken collar bones
A 3rd place
A 1st place
Not bad for race #1 out of 7
CCR will burn the toast!
