Wow, just got in from the BlacksBurg Cycling Classic. Yes, Blacksburg, VA, home of the Hokies. I say Wow, because after the time trail event in Christiansburg, I made the wrong turn onto highway 81 and drove to Roanoke. A mere 60 miles later, it dawned on me that we were headed in the wrong direction. Yep, I felt like a complete freaking idiot, for sure. Our little 2 hr drive suddenly turned into a 4 hour journey. We may as well stayed over for the road race and competed in the full omnium event.
A quick rundown of my results for the Blacksburg Cycling Classic criterium event and the time trial event are as follows.
Cat 5 Crit event = Finished 15th – Field of 30.
Time Trial event = Finished 4th – time 24:06
Ride Home = 2 hours longer than neccessary
I will post a recap of the event with some photos after I see the official Blacksburg Cycling Classic results.
Kudos to Rogues Racing for their first annual event. Look forward to next years already.
