Local racers raced the Ventures Crit today in the March Madness Practice Race Series. Started off fast and had a few attacks to keep it spicey. After a few attacks, Kent Bradford (oz), Jay B (tulsawheelemen) and Rich H (rcrc) got a good gap and worked together to get a nice gap. Jay Hawkins from RCRC wanted to get a good work out in and attacked to try and keep the gap managable. He would attack and the oz team would get to the front and pull him back. Finally he attacked and brian pollan covered, they slowed and the group caught up with them then Jay attacked again and i covered and we got a sizeable gap. I worked with jay for around 25 min. to bridge the gap to the leaders (he had to slow down alot after his pulls to allow me to catch on and pull through). We finally caught them and i was fried. Our 5 man group stayed together till the last lap when Kent (oz) attacked and got a little gap but slowed due to the headwind. Jay B, Jay H, and Rich H. dropped the hammer, and i got pinched off from kent trying to catch there wheel so i lost contact for the sprint. In the end Jay B from TulsaWheelemen 1st, Rich H. (rcrc) 2nd, Jay H. (rcrc) 3rd, Kent B. (oz) 4th, and Me (oz) 5th. A lot of work and a great workout for a practice race.
