Road Season Opener - JetFuel on the Podium!!

This past weekend I headed over to Raleigh, NC for one of the first races on the east coast cycling calendar. The Wolfpack Cycling Classic. Saturday was a hilly 120km road race and Sunday was a downtown criterium.

Saturday’s race had a high quality field with many professionals from the area looking to get their season started. The race was full on from the start with lots of attacks. After a lot of failed attempts I got into a break of six guys with 30km to go. I ended up taking 2^nd on the day after a tight sprint finish.

Sundays criterium was short and fast. The finish didn’t go exactly as planned as I clipped a pedal through the last corner but I was able to hang in for 10^th in the end. Overall it was a great weekend of racing and a great way to start off the season.

The team has been putting in a lot of quality miles in South Carolina and everyone is looking fit and ready to race. Next weekend we’ll be looking for the win at the Donaldson Center Road Race, the first race of the Greenville Spring Series.
