Well I never made it to Tulsa. Team Legacy was all full up so I stayed in town that weekend. I did some local races instead, one was Hugo and a crit the following sunday in City Park in denver. I got 23rd in both of them actually but the crit was much more difficult. The road race scene out here kinda sux, nothing compared to back east or in California so I hear. Hugo broke eup fast into two groups. We were all stuck in the second group and no one wanted to work to bridge the gap so it never happened. BMC rider John Garcia and a Jelly Belly rider were with us as well trying to get people to work but no one wanted to pull through. It was really windy and guttered the entire day...not fun. The crit was much more exciting though. That was by far the most difficult crit, and only my second pro crit, ever. I was red lined for half of the race as I tried to get in a break away to no avail and covering attacks from others. Tough but I finished in the back of the front group. I was red lined for the sprint so I couldn't throw down for a sprint.
The western slope omnium is coming up this weekend and its gonna require an over night stay which I can't afford. I might end up sleeping in my car if I can't find anyone to split a hotel room with. I'm gonna send out some emails and see what happens. Theres a road race and a crit with not a lot of people signed up so maybe that's a good thing. I might be able to get some points this weekend.
