I managed to get out CBR #3 (of 6), and just went in with no intention other than staying in the top portion of the group for as long as I could to really test my fitness out. Still need to work on it (especially more sleep, lol).
Overall it was fun and again, learned a few lessons and a few things.
There was a crash! I was about mid-pack when I didn't know what happened up front, someone hit the deck hard and brought down a few riders (found out from @ChrisMang (PAA rider footage) that someone decided to take an out right crazy left and wipe out another riders front wheel causing it, which then caused everyone else behind it veer into the left and right areas trying to avoid it (which almost pushed a few of us into the gutter).The riders in the crash were overall good, but definitely some broken bikes (let's pour the beer for lost homies, lol). Glad we were all able to keep it upright right behind that little wreck though, it could have been way worse.
I still choose outside wider lines to maintain pedaling power even, even if the line is wider. I've noticed that the inside line tends to get congested and you can't always pedal safely through it. It's all a learning process.
Ended 37 out of 49.
Bike change about a 6wks ago has put me in a slightly more aggressive position, but it's smaller than my old bike setup, and it has helped a lot, but still figuring out the saddle-to-handlebar situation. Almost to the point of good balance. lol
But that's it! I hope you guys enjoy the funny intro and the vid! Got some more stuff coming up (finally, lol).

I was right behind that crash. Had to swerve in between the guys that went down. Could've used a free lap too instead of trying to catch the pack which I failed to do. Good info! Will definitely keep in mind next time. Hope we don't have to use it...
Awwww man! Luckily you kept the rubber down and avoided it! Yeah if you get separated from the group, the rule book does state that a free lap can be granted (if you are basically dropped by the front end of the group due to it). Not the exact text in the book, but it’s close, lol. Hopefully we don’t have to use it though for sure! Wish for fast/smooth lines and safe races!
Great video! I was the one in the rapha kit infront of you for the first few laps. Unfortunately, I fell and wasn’t able to ride the rest of the ride. Till next ride tho! Can’t wait!
Think you were #934? Rebel with the number on the shoulder, lol. Awww man, that sucks. Hopefully you kept all your skin and the bike is all good! Heal up quick and we’ll definitely line up at the start line again! Good racing out there!🤟🏻
@@railthegutter my gf didn’t know where to put it and it was late already lol. Yeah man, all good. Just resting and start training soon. 🤘🏽
@@erickreyes1247 As long as it was on there! haha! Rest up and get to training! See you out there again soon!
Good video with great info on the “take a lap”… and you’re welcome… 😁, sincerely, “the guy on your left”… 😆🤜🏽🤛🏽🍻
I’ve seen you comment on a few videos and I finally know who you are, lol. We kept the rubber down and we held our lines! Shout outs to you! You’re the real champ! Lol 😂 TAKE THE LAP! Don’t even think about it. Lol
@@railthegutter Most definitely will! 😆
Great vid man , make me want to join a race lol
A little fitness, a little fast pace group riding and you’ll be just fine, lol. DO IT! Next race for me will most likely be at the next CBR. 🤟🏻
Can you sign up online? Might give it a shot
@@909damien1 sorry for the late reply, yeah you absolutely can! you can either show up day of the race and sign up in person or sign up online (I prefer online, saves time and gets the morning sign in process done way faster). You can check all races I believe on bikereg.com. Hopefully this helps!
@@railthegutter No worries , Going to definitely sign up for next CBR . Appreciate the motivation and inspiration.
Good job! What's your team name?
Thank you! I actually said good morning to you while on the trainer. Lol 😂 no team, just me, myself and I good sir.
