| Westlake Training Series #9 6/15/2010 | Tonight's race was pretty challenging, but I raced well. 50mi so the avg speed was a little slower at 25 - 26mph. I found my way into the only meaningful break of the night with Rudy and Zak. We worked well together until one guy each from RGF and from Panther bridged up and wouldn't pull through. We were then quickly caught by another bridge / the rest of the field. The pace really kicked up here and people began to get thrown off the back. I hung strong and worked hard the whole night. Just got beat out for a $$ prime. I hope to be able to race as good or better next week! | Gary Burkholder |
