I went up the right side, just as someone went up the left side, and I tried to get his slipstream but he was far enough away that I wasn't getting any draft. When I realized I had no legs left, I just sat up. Hardest part of the race for me was trying to get back into the draft of the pack as they sailed past. I was really close to getting dropped.RayMan AKA StingRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12452721010393615107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4720929165832696670.post-13303177863226075752008-08-21T20:54:00.000-04:002008-08-21T20:54:00.000-04:00Rayman,I was thinking about hanging back and pulli...Rayman,<BR/><BR/>I was thinking about hanging back and pulling you up, but all I could muster was some words of encouragement.

I thought you were a spinners rider. I couldn't hold your wheel so I drifted back to the pack. It was tough out there in the wind wasn't it?

Very cool meeting Bob.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to thank you for giving me the encouragement to not get dropped in the last couple of miles of the RR. Not sure if you realized you did this or not, but wanted to thank you.<BR/><BR/>After my final attempt at a break with maybe 2 miles to go, I attacked on one the flatter sections heading into the run into town. I was chasing someone ahead of me, and my legs started konking out. I pulled over to the side of the road and let the pack pass. I tried getting back in line but a gap formed, my legs were screaming, the moto dude past me, and I thought to myself "this sucks, I'm going to get dropped". I looked up and saw you looking over your shoulder. I was thinking you were making sure I didn't get dropped, so I buried myself in one last effort and bridged past the moto-dude and got back on your wheel. The rest of the run into town was just trying to stay on someone's wheel.<BR/><BR/>Thanks againRayMan AKA StingRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12452721010393615107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4720929165832696670.post-1923907303625387512008-08-21T08:23:00.001-04:002008-08-21T08:23:00.001-04:00I was thinking wouldn't it be cool if Joe jefferso...I was thinking wouldn't it be cool if Joe jefferson called the race with bobke there.

But don't tell too many people, it might ruin the whole thing. heheJohn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01704923736413090158noreply@blogger.com
