Crits finally resumed here and hopped into a practice race.
Although I was excited to get out with others I was a bit nervous not having raced a crit in nearly 18 months. Not to mention 95% of my riding is by myself or indoors.
I felt somewhat at ease knowing most haven’t raced or ridden with others but that didn’t seem to be the case.
Three laps in we’re averaging 27mph and at one point I was completely boxed in on all sides. To the point of rubbing elbows. That made my nerves shoot through the roof so I eased up as soon as I could. As soon as I did I was basically pedaling backwards and rode the rest of the time chasing small groups.
Sketchy but fun times.
