Rumbeke

Rumbeke was probably my best previous effort here, even though the result doesn't show it. I had spent the first half of the race at the front, until my knee started hurting again. I went from the front of the race to the back pretty quick, and my race was over. This time it didn't go that well. A lot of guys letting gaps open and sitting up. It was raining, so maybe that was part of it. Anyway, I lasted I think 4 laps. I went back, changed, and Lance was done too.
Anyway, it was a late race and we ended up hitting a lot of traffic on the way there. Friday in August vacation traffic! We weren't sure we would make it, but we rolled in just before registration ended. 118 riders. As we rushed to get dressed, I hear "Breakaway". Booey Hottenstein rolls up. He's over here too and he's doing pretty well. It's great to see a young talent like that getting some real racing exposure. We need to bring more young talented riders over here.
