The race was pretty straight forward. 4 corner industrial park crit. This time of the year its very hot in the Riverside area so I was a bit concerned about how my body would feel in the heat. 

SCVelo (Jeremiah Wiscovitch's) team had about 7-8 guys and I knew a group would lap the field.
Since I was alone I had to ride smart and spare my time to make the winning break. I actually couldn't have done it any better way.

I let a break get established with about a whole straight away and soon I jumped across. Of course me jumping caused for a huge reaction from the field. I got things close enough for another team to close the deal on the break. As the break started to come back together I pulled a counter move to catch the 4 leaders taking 2 more guys with me.

Six of us got pretty organized and soon had a half a lap lead. I did my fair share of work and soon we can see the back of the main field. As we got closer, I noticed two of the SCVelo guys soft pedaling so we would not catch. (which i though was very smart because I was pretty isolated by myself).

So I had to think fast. I thought about it and I was in the best position ever. So I told Josh if they start to soft pedal I would sit on. So he attacked me. I played possum as Josh attacked and he eventually just took me to the field. in the string of small attacks, we lost some guys and only 4 guys lapped the field.

the group came all together for the field kick where I took another win.

Big thanks to my wife and kids for hanging out with papi in the hot sun as I raced.
Thanks a bunch. Next is Tulsa, Ok.
