I (Harvey) hadn't raced in a month and the itch had to be scratched. I raced Pro/Senior Expert and was having a great race, sitting in 2nd place and successfully fending off repeated surges from the guy in 3rd. He'd bridge up to me in the flats. I'd pull away on the next climb. And so it went until I flatted about a mile before the finish. I decided not to change it, rode when I could, ran when i couldn't ride and still hung onto 4th. Patrick was there too and finished 5th in 30+ Expert. I'll have a more detailed report up on my blog soon.
