Race report: Charge Pond

[michael01612]

First race of the year is done. Rode it with my new coach ... she says I am OK. I'll tell ya...I felt great ... could hold my position near the front with no difficulty and was under no duress at any time. Laps at 22-24 mph ... decent speed. I got a flat tire and had to stop ... but I had fun ... and found out what I wanted to find out ... I've got good legs (well, incrementally better than last year) ... I think this will be my best year on the bike yet!

I was tempted/thinking about that series, i think boston/Mass had much worse weather than Maine, these past two months. Everyone is flying

flat tires suck, especially racing

Yeah ... that was my first flat in a race. Kinda tough to drive 1.5 hours each way and have your race cut short. I already ordered some "Paris-Roubaix" tires for Battenkill .... lesson learned.

It's a nice course ... not too hilly ... only 1 tough corner.

Yeah ... I think MA had worse weather than ME ... couple of bad storms coming up from the south that only made it so far north ....
