Race Report: Ladera Ranch





So, I learned three very important things at last weekend's Ladera Ranch Grand Prix. Or, to be more pedantic, relearned three very important things.


1. No matter how slow you think the field is going, Do Not move to the front in order to "break up" the group. It's stupid and wastes energy; if you were the second coming of Jens Voight you would not be racing a Cat 5 race around an elementary school in Orange County.

2. Do not pull off the front of the field with 15 minutest go, and if you do do not go solo. Once again, it's a long race, and you have no teammates.

3. If you failed at your first attempt on a solo break, whatever you do, Don't Try it Again. Wait for the sprint.

12th Place....
