It was an unbelievably nice day for bike racing in Texas for late May. 60’s at the start and mid 70’s and mostly overcast. Wind wasn’t terrible. Enough rain last night to knock down the dust and make for a fast track. I wish I had done the 155 today, still had plenty in the legs after finishing the 110. I made a few tactical mistakes, but none of them affected my finishing position. Pretty comfortable on the bike for almost 6 hours. Good confidence booster for Unbound in a couple weeks.
The course is really outstanding (last year was so hot, I didn’t really appreciate it). Mostly fast, but a few chunky sections, water crossings, steep pitches to make things interesting and selective. The venue outside of town kind of sucked compared to having it in town (in my opinion), but the great weather more than made up for it. We stayed at the park in town Friday and just drove over in the morning, so it was all good.
