So I raced the Cat. 4/5 crit in Naugatuck, CT this weekend and we had a 50+ rider field. Going into a hard left turn at around 25 mph a pack of 4 riders went down and it figures one of them was 15 feet ahead of me. Thank God for my BMX background cause it was either go down tough with the group or bunnyhop the guys rear wheel at speed and pray I made it. I jumped his wheel clean and got a ton of “hoy shit, that was crazy” comments from the riders beside and behind me afterwards. It truly was F-ing crazy and if I had hit his wheel I would have been roast beef on the pavement. Its funny how you lose all regard for personal well being in a race and just got for it. Anyone else out there had a crazy road race experience like this? This is my first season racing and its 10x burlier than the NORBA MTB races I took part in for 4 seasons.
