Here I am hanging near the back of the bunch, saving energy:
Then, a guy named Pete and I worked together in a breakaway, only we did it with a style all our own. I call it the "reverse break." I mean, anybody can ride off the front. I think we had a much tougher time going off the back and chasing the rest of the race:
I don't have any pictures of the Moritz Crit this morning, but the course was awesome. It weaved right through the cultural district here in Fort Worth. There was a tree-lined slightly uphill boulevard as the finish, lots of great turns (including one off-camber screamer), and even a section of brick road.
I was off the back of the group after a few laps again today, but I didn't fall as far back. I was able to make up a lot of time with good bike handling on the technical course. The race was right in the middle of my old neighborhood, so I knew all the corners really well. It was cool to ride them completely closed to auto traffic, though. Tons of fun.

Right on man... having fun is what it is all about. I have a 3-day stage race coming up and I know I'm going to get slaughtered... but I'll be giggling like a school girl the whole race.
Way to go.
Way to go...! Very cool that you even got out there. Makes me nervous to even think of doing that...
The battle for the "lantern rouge" is often the most intense!
