Rehearsing and…

Every year in Oregon we have the OBRA championships for each disipline. For the road event, it is tradition to have a “rehearsal” race the weekend before followed by the actual championship race.

The Rehearsal is contested for prizes while the Championship for medals and bragging rights. The course is generally harder than most races around here so it actually somewhat suits a strong rider.

Unfortunately the nature of racing here in Oregon doesn’t because it seems that once a break forms off the front, the rest of the field quits racing. At least that has been the case every in every road event I have done this season.

That being said, I did a lot of hard riding both days and MISSED the break on each occasion. I didn’t have the right finish in either race although I finished both times in the main bunch.

Here are my Motionbased files if you want to check it out and compare each event.
