Thad put on a cow bell performance at the "Valley of the Cows". His udder-ly perfect lead out in the Masters race left a herd of carbon bulls standing ankle-deep in steamy manure.
With just over 1K to go I got on Thad's wheel as he hammered his way past 10+ guys on the right shoulder, putting me in about 8th position. With the perfect set up and a 400 meter open road "sprint" all I had to do was draft wheels and pass people as they popped. I ended up 4th in the sprint (8th overall thanks to a 4 person breakaway loaded with a regional and national champ!). After the Masters I did the 3's and felt good throughout but got pinched in the final 200 meters in the clusterf*^k of a sprint as our "closed road" became a "closed road with a Corvette driving towards us at 250 meters." I thought about biking over the hood, but having lasted a season with bones intact I decided to sit up and stay safe.
Thad raced GREAT staying out of trouble and getting to the front when it mattered. And he must be ready for cross season because he wanted to jump in the cat 3 race after the masters! Thanks for the perfect set-up Thad!
Ride On!!
