My own worst enemy!
I am sitting here a day after the Gaslight Crit and kicking myself. There is nothing that compares to racing and feeling tremendously good. I have been playing the conservative game just to get back in the swing of things. Well yesterday I wanted to rip and I was ready, but I played the wrong tactical game and came up short. Nothing was wrong and everything went well. I was sitting 4th wheel going around the 140 degree turn with a lap and a half left. On the backside I was still sitting pretty until right before the same turn we got swamped from the left and the right. All of a sudden 20 guys are in front of me and the race ended with a bitter taste in my mouth. You live and learn and I guess I put myself too close to the front with too much of the race left. Oh well life goes on..... To those of you who may have said on your left or right during the race I will not apologize. It is not my job to let you in or help you move up if my bars are in front of yours. That is your job to make your own race.

You seem to be turning a bit acrimonious. Do you yell at the kids to stay off your lawn?
I just call it as I see it. In bike racing you can not expect someone to just let you in. I know how it works, so race your bike and do not expect gifts. No matter who it was I would not just let them go by, that is unless I have a personal friendship with them. Like I said it is up to you to make your race, not me.
