Spring racing continues

Welp, it's been a busy last few weekends. No time to really recap all of the races, but it's been a lot fun. Our team is coming together and we're starting to race really well together.

As always, Igda has been a trooper going to the races with me. It's actually pretty boring for her in between races, but I'm really glad she comes along for the support. Leo's made a few trips, too. Oh, yeah, my Cat 3 upgrade just come through yesterday. It means I can keep racing with faster and faster dudes.

Here's some pics and a short video of the finish from Tyson's. I was pretty happy with the 8th place here:

Igda's good friend, Sumita came to hang out and watch her first cycling race.




This past weekend I had two races on Saturday at Chantilly Crit. Finished 11th in M35+ race which was super fast, hard and fun.

The afternoon race was the M35+ 3/4. Our team executed perfectly the entire race. Since I had a teammate up the road my job was pretty easy, just mark wheels. It worked out and I ended third while my teammate secured 2nd out of the two man break.

On Sunday, I raced a crit up in Columbia MD. Fun to be out racing, but not a fan of the course. Finished a luckluster 17th, but my teammate took 5th, so a good day for the team!
