Recently I shot up to Los Angeles, CA to race the ELDO Crit Series. This is a USAC Sanctioned P1-3 bike race, they do also have Master's and CAT 4/5 Categories if you're chasing those ever elusive USA Cycling Upgrade Points that everyone needs.
This is a great race series for learning the ropes and there is a TON of talent out there. We had a pretty stacked field was some serious firepower in it. I made some horrible mistakes early on and pulled a rookie move doing too much work and completely missing the back of the field when I needed to jump back in.
This left me chasing in time trial position for a few laps until finally, about 10 more minutes passed in the bike race and they finally chased me down.
Once they did, I was able to get in the mix a bit, jump to some moves, and get involved in the race a bit more to get in some really good training and I learned quite a bit more about race craft when fighting a small field.
I had a really good time overall and highly recommend heading up to LA for a crit on Tuesday nights, especially if it's ELDO you plan on doing.
Thanks for watching!
