Road race 64 miles (8min laps)
Night before the race was Thunder of Louisville. Big deal for the region with over 800,000 people showed up to watch the biggest fireworks display in the country and air show. Once the fireworks were over Elizabeth and I managed to make it to our car which was the first goal. The next was to get home. Within 10 mins of not moving in the car the gas light came on. We watch the gas mileage go from 50 down to 19 when we finally make it 2 miles which took 1 and ½ hours.
The race started with a break which lasted about a lap. There was another move as we went up a slight climb. I made an effort to join the 3 other riders. We rolled away from the rest of the field and never saw them again. It was the slight climb on the last lap where I made a slight effort to see how the other 3 were feeling. One guy fell off and the rest of us kept going making sure he did not catch back on. Four miles to the finish I made another move dropping another guy but he was able to crawl his way back on. Once he did he attacked and I went with him and we dropped the other guy. It was only me and another rider who kept trying to attack but did not have any luck dropping me. I attacked 400 meters to the finish and dropped him and Ciclismo won!
