Ken Woods Road Race - Cat 3/4 (5/11/24)

11th/32. Sent an early attack with Brian and got a break of 4 going, which was caught and became a break of 11. Tried to split the field again but no dice. First time up the Sogn climb, front group split into 5 in G1, 4 in G2, two dropped (me included). I was able to work back to up to Corey and together we caught G2 (now 6). Knowing I'd get dropped on Sogn again, I tried to break solo down to descent, made it 5 min before getting caught at the top of the Cty 14 climb. Attacked G2 two more times trying to get away but was running out of gas. All together up Sogn to the line, got dropped right away and came in 11th, teammate Brian in G1 came in 2nd.

It's been 15 years since I last raced KW/Sogn Valley. Brought back memories! Thanks.
