GOSNAY! YAY!

Gosnay ( Cat 2) race

2 small climbs, very rough rough roads, 20 laps of slightly less than 5km each lap

THERE WAS ONLY 400 -500 m of smooth roads per lap!

I felt like giving up after just 2 laps because the roads were so rough i was hanging right off the back! Marcus was trying to contest for the KOM at the early laps..Then he said he was just hoping to puncture so he could pull out.. my back and neck is now gone because of the rough roads. Its like worst than anything i have ever seen!

maybe we should have suspension for road bikes!

Marcus Me Cedric, sat in the pack till the end where cedric told me to go on the last climb but i couldnt so i just sat in the first few postions and marked a decathlon rider who looked strong.. he attacked a few times so i just kept following him. There was a breakaway over 2 mins in front of about 20 riders..

there was a solo guy  20 m in front, decathlon rider and i and then gap to the peloton! 3rd in the peloton and then 24th overall, marcus 31st and cedric was 47th. 

i am glad because i finally gave it all in the finale of a race today! for once all on the line!couldnt get round the decathlon guy and also even if i could i shouldnt because he was the one who pulled most of the way in the last one km to mantain the gap to the peloton!

if i had known the roads were like that i would probably have just 100psi in the tyres instead of the 110 or so! its like the worst stretch of road in kulai X2 for 2hrs plus! glad to make it through unscathed!
