Belterra Crit and Ronde von Manda RR 2009

Sat: WINDY and hilly crit course. 65 starters, 20 finishers (not including me). Ouch!

Sun: Mostly flat, totally exposed road race on small farm roads East of Austin. Race split into 3 groups. I was shelled in an uphill crosswind from a group containing Dave Wenger and Pat McCarty of team OUCH. They were doing a time trial to chase the group in front, which had 2 of my teammates, and another teammate in the break ahead of that group. Everyone except for first 4 or 5 riders in my group was in the gutter for about an hour and I finally cracked.

Saturday's Start (I'm 142 in green jersey, bottom left corner):



Sunday, mid-race, race cut to pieces, 3 groups on the road. I'm in 3rd group :)
