12:50 - The end
I managed to get out CBR #3 (of 6), and just went in with no intention other than staying in the top portion of the group for as long as I could to really test my fitness out. Still need to work on it (especially more sleep, lol).
Overall it was fun and again, learned a few lessons and a few things.
There was a crash! I was about mid-pack when I didn't know what happened up front, someone hit the deck hard and brought down a few riders (found out from @ChrisMang (PAA rider footage) that someone decided to take an out right crazy left and wipe out another riders front wheel causing it, which then caused everyone else behind it veer into the left and right areas trying to avoid it (which almost pushed a few of us into the gutter).The riders in the crash were overall good, but definitely some broken bikes (let's pour the beer for lost homies, lol). Glad we were all able to keep it upright right behind that little wreck though, it could have been way worse.
I still choose outside wider lines to maintain pedaling power even, even if the line is wider. I've noticed that the inside line tends to get congested and you can't always pedal safely through it. It's all a learning process.
Ended 37 out of 49.
Bike change about a 6wks ago has put me in a slightly more aggressive position, but it's smaller than my old bike setup, and it has helped a lot, but still figuring out the saddle-to-handlebar situation. Almost to the point of good balance. lol
But that's it! I hope you guys enjoy the funny intro and the vid! Got some more stuff coming up (finally, lol).
