Windy Panoche Road Race

Last weekend was Northern California's District Road Race Championship. There was a lot of surges in our race. There were also many attacks even up the hill that it split the group. The front group consisted of 7 riders, which included myself and my teammate Jack Maddux. The wind was brutal on our way back that no one wanted to work. This caused those that were dropped the opportunity to catch us. Since I knew that we were going to have a field sprint, the plan was for Jack to lead me out. But our plan was spoiled because we were boxed in with about 500 m to go. Then at 200 m Dylan Drummond jumped and held it to the line and I finished 3rd by a bike throw.
