Prix du Cyclophile Morgien a Reverolle (Suisse)

So after a busy few days of site seeing and riding to watch the Tour of Romandie ive finally got a chance to right a quick report.

The first race 120km Amateur swiss race. 4 x 30km laps. rolling terrain.

The race started with a big bunch into a fairly strong head wind with not many attacks and a slowish pace but i knew i had to wait for the first few laps before getting in a break would be worth while.

After the finish of lap 2 i attacked after the feed zone and some muppet came with me. We lasted around 15km before we where caught. But as we got caught the bunch slowed up and i went again this time taking a stronger looking rider with me. We rode hard for the rest of the lap to get the bell with about a 1 minutes lead. By this stage i was starting to get signs of cramp. With around 20km to go 2 riders came across to us. So i sat on for a to make sure i would make it over the main climb. After the main climb one rider went clear on a small climb and my original break away partner dropped. So it was down to me and another rider to chase down a 20 sec gap. We where both hurting and could feel the bunch starting to reel us in. So we just lapped it right to the finish with the bunch just 3seconds behind. I managed to roll the other guy for 2nd.
Pretty stoked that the break stayed away but need to sort out cramp problems!!!!
