I raced at Erie Street in Windsor on Sunday. It was fun.
The race started off pretty slow. A few people attacked, which ramped up the pace a bit. I found myself right by Greg Christian (Turin) in the pack so I got on his wheel. He moved up through the pack for a few laps. When one of the small attacks came back, he made a strong jump and I glued myself to his wheel. He looked back to see me and two other guys (Paul Martin of Texas Roadhouse and Graham Howard (I think) of Bissell). For the next 15 or so laps, the four of us steadily gained time on the pack. At one point we had 45 seconds on the pack and the prospects of lapping the field were looking really good.
We kept the pace blistering (I couldn't pull through a lot of the time, so I caught wheels as the other three rotated back). About three or four laps later, the gap had shrunk to 15 seconds. We continued to work, but the pack ended up catching us. Another group of nine got off the front, but they were also brought back.
The finish came down to a bunch sprint. I gave it a good kick, but I was still pretty tired from the break. I ended up 21st which I'm happy with.
