I did this race in 2006 , believe it was cat4. It was my first crit so I lined up close to the back because I didn’t want to be some goon not knowing what they are doing. Needless to say the pack got strung out pretty quick and I was pulled after 3 laps. It was a fun course for those 3 laps🤦♂️
Crazy race… I’m astounded that you had so many gaps, closing those take effort and of course steal your speed for the final dash. From your footage you seem in the mix and flying on the wet circuit which was a factor as it got dark. Pity the Go Pro had enough, I would of liked to see the end. I personally don’t like this trend of going super narrow as you definitely are compromising yourself in the handling department. Now every dude thinks his in a velodrome…🙄. Meanwhile his lapping with round water bottles and not holding wheel. LOL. Stay upright and look after your health! Peace.
You don't have to apologize for your dip in fitness Dizzle, we're all human. Plus i'm pretty sure you're your own harshest critic, no need for us to add onto that 💛
I love racing kids like George because I'm a washed up masters who has nothing to lose. George does because if he gets beat by a masters guy it hurts his future.
Might be a silly question, but what's the difference between this and cross? Course seemed tame enough on video (always looks easier on video so correct me if I'm wrong), that you could run a cross bike. Do you have to use a mtb?
watched this whole video while on the trainer this morning. i'm kinda wondering if i'm the only person that was exepcting the video to go to commercial when he stopped talking at 0:43. i can't be the only person. when the ad never came i was like "WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?!?!?!!"
… George will come knocking, you can count on it. Wait till he gets older. 🤭. Otherwise nice break after madbound! Congrats on your youthful offspring, your are blessed brother.
Great job, congrats 👏 your patience paid off. Ride smart and great things happen. Love the part you said you didn't care if the chase group caught you guys. You had a plan and kept it great job. 👍
THis doesn't look like Eva Bandman Park??? PS My second was very nearly born at a crit in Frankfort, I got her back to Louisville & in the hospital w/ 10 mins to spare.
congrats daddy watts...George has a lot of upside and fitness...looks like he just needs some technical experience...probably could use a good coach ;)
