Nothing like starting the season on the right note. Today Matt and Tim went up Trexlertown, PA for a training crit. Basically, all catagories are thrown together (cat 5's thru pros), they ride around in circles and the pros crush the field.
Between the wind, the cold and the fact that those pros already have been racing this season, I think the boys did well. A good kick in the ass to motivate them for the upcoming season.
Matt's not sure what happened, but suddenly, there was a pack that lapped the field. Ya, the pace was hard. The wind was hard (especially for little Matt who was tossed around like a piece of paper in the wind). However, the boys stood strong and managed to hang on to them for the second split. So if it weren't for that lapped lap, they would've been right with them!
Last night was the the team's fundraiser at the Iron Hill Brewery. Good times! The team has grown quite a bit and it should be a good season for them!
First official race will be this weekend in Strasburg. Matt's not sure if he's going to do both the 40+ (his first) and the 3/4. Depends on Marty's schedule on the 40+. It also will effect if I go or not (the 40+ starts early... 8:30 and the 3/4 starts after 11:00). Oh, and weather. I'm not going if it's cold. No reason for me to suffer. I leave that to Matt.
