Transversale des As de l'Ain

Haven't done an update on the racing in a while. The race on the weekend was said to be flat. We got to the race and saw the race profile and saw some pretty nasty hills.

Any way no point going on about that. The raced started pretty fast and windy. I positioned my self up front to look for breaks and stay out of crashes and all the breaking etc.

I was very active in the first 80km as i wanted to test the legs. But that was the killing of me as when the first 10km climb hit my legs had already done a lot of hard riding.

I held on nearly to the top of the first KOM(gpm). Rode the rest in a small group of 10 then pulled the pin with 25km to go totally smashed.

I feel like the racing is slowly bringing the form up though, which is good as got 2 tours coming up this month.

Cheers

Kieran
