Mocksville Criterium

This is the start of our 6 days of racing in Crossroads Cycling Classic.

4 corners and very fast. There was a blind pothole on the back straight. Of course I hit it almost every lap. But early in the race someone hit it and got squirly and crashed with about 5 guys. This split the field, as the front never slowed down. I was safely in the front and Ted got stuck behind the crash in the chase group. We never saw the chasers again.

It stayed fast with a group of about 40 guys. Every couple laps or so we would lose more guys to crashes and atresion. It's funny how guys crash in the same place lap after lap. You would think they would learn not to go too far outside there.

We finished as a group of 26 riders. I didn't sprint in got 26th. Ted's group got pulled with 15 laps to go.
