Gnarliest winds ever experienced on a bike, 70+ km/hr.
Not the results hoping for but s*&# happens, ended 7th overall after the 3 races. Completely happy with how smartly I rode conserving just ticked with Crit finish and how I was involved in little pile up in the road race.
Field was down to 11 guys out of the 30 that started when a crosswind gust knocked a guy down taking the 7 of us with him. By the time I changed wheels, the group was gone. From there it was by myself for remaining 35 km's wanting to finish for a decent placing overall. Tough ride with 3/4 of the lap being head or cross wind - standing still almost.
Fellow RMCC teammates killed it.
Sean Crooks in my category was 2nd in Crit and Road race placing 2nd GC resulting in him being upgraded to Cat 2. Gord Jewett was 5th in both the Crit and Road Race in Cat 1/2 - dude is strong!! Jeff was 4th GC in Cat 4 with Chris winning the Crit. 3 time Olympian,Robin Clegg, in his first ever road race won GC in Cat 5.
