Bike jam 2008 NRC

First big race back was Bike jam in Maryland, this race was an NRC (national race calender) event. We had a full squad there it looked to be a tough day with a lot of the big teams showing up. the circuit was more like a circuit race then a crit. it was i a city park which meant there were no curbs but some tight corners, after my warm up i realised my legs were shot from the 6 hour drive down the night before, but as the race went on i actually felt better. i had a hard time with positioning and avoiding crashes but buy the time i started moving up it was far too late and far too fast i was pretty disappointed with my performance i need to lift my game. i ended up finishing round 40th of about 120 riders. team mate jeff hopkins finished 7th.
i have two more big crits this week, and am looking forward to them.
