A fun Crit.. Really?

You have some guys like Rick and Kevin F. who enjoy Cirts.. I have to say I'm a Road Race guy... I prefer some rolling hills.. over Crits's with there tight corners and guys fighting for position on every corner. Turns out Tim had a crash(Unluckly involving a Car and a guy walking a dog...He's doin okay now) and wasn't able to compete at Mt Nebo. Red Roses was nice enough to move his registration to the Great Grandview Heights Crit. Bryan and I decide what the heck it'd be a good workout to go and support Tim in the 3/4 Race.... Glad we decided to as it was one of the best races in terms of course, very nice 1 mile Crit right in the middle of a tree lined neighborhood. We also did a great job working as a Team and all finished in top 10ish(4,10,11). Bryan pulled an aggressive 2+ lap time trial at the end of the race which pushed up the pace and kept the big sprinters from making their moves at the end.. Tim and I chased with the 8 riders in pursuit of Bryan.. Unfortanely Bryan got caught with 50M to go but Tim ended up winning the field sprint just behind the 3 man break..

Next year were going to bring some more guys! .... If we had one more guy we could have probably pulled back the break.
