CRCA B/C race
Ann-Marie & I were up early for a combined B/C field in Central Park. The fields were combined so that Sanchez-Metro and Radical Media could hold their women's bike racing clinic. It seemed to be very well attended, so we hope to see some of those women in the field soon!
Couldn't really tell you what was going on in our race though, as we were both too focused on staying safe and upright! It was good fun though, and it's always a bit of a rush to tuck into a large field and be sucked along. Unfortunately, on the fourth lap, someone went down over the growing frost heave at West 87th and the ensuing chaos slowed me down enough that I couldn't chase back onto the pack. Bah! A-M had dropped off after an earlier incident, and word was there were one or two more crashes before the actual finish, including one at the base of Cat's Paw.
On the upside, of course, neither of us were involved in the crashes, and we both felt great. But yeah, actually finishing with the field would have been a nice touch!
