I stayed with the lead group of seven for about 10 miles but the Cat 1 guy attacked just after I put in a long pull up front... I couldn't match the acceleration. I sat up and regrouped with two more stragglers for a brutal ride. We caught a dropped guy from the lead group of 4 at mile 35and rode in for the finish. The dropped guy started attacks again within our foursome with about 1 mile to go just after one of my pulls (he must have known I was cooked). He splintered our foursome along with my legs and I rode in alone for 7th overall and 2nd in my age group. Overall Abileneans did very well...taking many of the age group prizes.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819535808939232303noreply@blogger.com
