Poolesville Pain
by Evan
Well you got the jist from Eric’s and Chris’s reports. Attacked, decided to stick it out - a move that was a lap too early and proved fruitless. Lesson learned. Sat up, but when two riders bridged decided to stuff myself back into the hurt locker. Things were looking good, especially since one of my break companions was NCVC and there were 12 more back in the pack, presumably working for him. When he flatted, the game was up. My other break partner just had more energy and pulled away slowly after the dirt section. In hindsight I should have buried myself and stayed on his wheel….because he won. Still pisses me off. Oh well. That’s racing - lesson learned. Thanks to Eric and Judd for helping launch me and suffering to keep me away - for whatever it was worth - at least the majority of other roadies think were f*ing crazy - especially with the Lodi double up…
