Staford Springs

Staford was a good day for me , but with lasting ramification's . I drove up with McG and Eric M ,
a virtual who's who of the Tuesday night ride . When we got there we sized up the field and knew it was going to be a hard day due to the wind and quality of the small pack . McG got on right from the gun , and I decided to sit tight and try and pick the right move . After a few moves I saw the right combo forming and went across to it right away . We were only about 7or 8 laps in so it was going to be a long day .

The break was on there were 5 of us , a fruity guy , Kenda , J Bold and CTU . We all worked well at first but then CTU started to mill it and was causing two guys to start skipping pulls . (bold- kenda) My problem was that CTU was coming off my wheel (cool) I think we would have lapped the field 5 or 6 laps sooner had he not done this . As we were getting close to the field the effort was starting to take its toll . When we got to the pack we went straight through FUCK . It was a good thing that McG was there he jumped in and settled things down . think everyone was glad to take a break . With a few laps to go The fruity guy jumped clear . McG chased but with no help he could just keep him close , and 1 lap to go CTU jumped clear I got a late start and could only keep a 10 meter gap I knew that if I didn't get on him before the head wind I was in trouble . I was in trouble . Once again it was gut check time and I failed . Unknown to me the Kenda guy was on my wheel the whole time and jumped me when I cracked . I had to settle for 5th . I went away happy with the result , thinking that on Sunday I could get revenge . On Sunday my legs and every ones that were in the break that I talked to were smoked . They just never loosened up and I pretty much suffered all day . I find that with age you don't get two good days in a row . Back in the day this was not the case. Well that's it FU until next time .
