Bird's view... Racing with DS

3 races.  2 days for the old guys...



yep that is the DS and Bird splitting the winnings as we worked to contain Leduc and ended up with DS finishing fast for 3rd place at Tour de Moore....Elizabeth and Teenie did the W3,4 earlier.  Teenie then joined DS and I for the Men's 50+..... finished in time to cheer Giselle on to an 11th place finish in the women's Pro 1,2,3 ... DS and I then headed up to the Brick City Criterium for a fast 4 corner crit... I held on for a 4th place finish.....

the call....Tour de Moore.....
60+.. (DS 3rd) 27miles 1 lap

14 starters (2 not up to task, but the rest, old race horses…. Tim Kerr, Bob Land, Gillis, Leduc, David Stevens, Norm Lack, DS)… pace not really going at start so I go to the front and lift the pace. Everyone responds. We get a paceline going (about 6 of us going through). I launch an attack lifting the speed and getting a gap…too early… just testing the legs…… At 5 miles we rip through the first right and hit the little “tester”… Lack and I go but let it come back… pretty steady pace.. Leduc makes an effort but not really going. DS counters, leduc slows… up to the fort and the right turn to the rollers… some efforts here… DS covering Leduc and riding strong through the paceline.. Smart, not staying on the front… no one gets away, but not really trying. Lack and I make another effort but not hard enough.

3+ miles out, heading to right turn, pack really slows and I go… really going.. not wanting to race Leduc up the climb …  .....(Click here to continue reading)
