UFOLEP 2eme categorie a muret, victoire sur mon TREK!

MAY4th UFOLEP category 2 men's race in Muret

a 2kms circuit fast and furious in an industrial zone around Mruet, a suburb of Toulouse. Cat 1 and 2 men's race, and were off for 38 laps, 65kms....I am still feeling good after yesterday's triathlon and thursday's trail race and want to give my TREK a good workout before I give it a ten day rest while I go to China may 8-18. We took off at 38kph, a few attacks, a prime or two and nothing stuck. finally a group went and i noticed my team mate not feeling so well at the tail end of a group of 11 guys up the road. I bridge up alone and now we were 12. On a prime the following lap I followed a lead out for the prime and took off with another guy. We managed to get 10-20 seconds on the group of 10 and over a minute on the rest of the field about a minute back....after 7 laps another rider bridged up but the 9 riders behind were closing in. I sat up opting to recover a lap or two and now we were 12 again. a few attempts were made a break and 4 of us managed to go with 10 laps remaining, 2 laps later the 8 riders back returned and the field was only 20 seconds behind us. with 7 laps to go 2 cat one riders took off and got about 50 m on our group. I waited until the back stretch and stood up on my 11 and sprinted across to them making it with 5 laps to go....we were off and I won my first men's race of the season solo!
