Second win in as many days

This race was just west of Columbus, the weather was supposed to be cloudy with no rain, how wrong could it be. It poured down the whole race, i haven't been that cold since last season i was here.

The race was very flat, I had team mates Marco and Joe racing with me. The coarse was an exposed 100km 5 lap race. We started attacking the field early on, it took a while before the break went with Joe over a minute up the road by himself and then a chasing group of 5 with me in it. Joe had an awesome ride, holding the field off till 400m to go, which in all was 50km of the race he went solo. The chasing group was very inconsistent making it perfect for Joe to stay away. At one stage i was sure he would hold us off and take the win, but coming down to the last 10km the group took off. It came down to a bunch sprint that i took out with Joe rolling in 4Th.

Hopefully we don't have to do much more racing in the rain, nothing beats a day out in the sun on the bike.
