Todays Lake front 150 km road race was on a 24 lap circuit. Either end of the circuit had reasonably steep short climbs. This we had fellow Subway-avanti team mate Jason Allen racing with us.
As always we covered every attack we could from the start and there were quite a few to begin with considering the distance of the race. It wasn't until we got close to half way through, the peloton split into 3 groups. Hayden and i ended up in the 2nd group. No one was really chasing the front group, we got them as close as thirty seconds, we would get close but couldn't close the last bit. I happened to be working and ended up rolling off the front of our group across the flat part of the coarse were i was joined by a Kahala La grange rider, followed by Emile Abraham. We worked well together and managed to make it across the gap pretty quickly. once we got across the group was pretty settled and we stayed together until about 2km to go when the attacks started, again the finish was very strung out i managed to get pipped on the line ending up 6th, with Menzies and Heath Blackgrove taking out the top two spots.
Again it was a pretty successful day. looking forward to upcoming weekends racing.
