I opted for the Cat 3/4 race in the 2016 Steel City Showdown on a BEAUTIFUL Spring day in Pittsburgh.
Despite the Call for a neutral start the Field of 60 racers were all chomping at the bit.
All Day Attacks in the short 45 minute race.
Unfortunately the field was hampered by a big crash early into the race that took out more than a few competitors. I was lucky enough to dodge the carnage by a few bike lengths as the sound of carbon on concrete filled the air. Ouch.
Regardless the race pushed on and I managed to hold towards the front to stay out of trouble but missed the breakaway group.
With a few pulls and a couple of attacks I put in some efforts but ended up caught in the swarm of the Steel City Showdown rolling across the line in 30th position.
Zooooooooooom.
