The Windy Crit

While many of the riders were thankful it wasn't another points crit, the headwind coming down the finishing straight over the finish line had me wishing otherwise. It was a fast race tonight with riders taking advantage of the tailwind up the back straight to push the pace into the top corner on Meredith and Tulsa before the headwind forced the pack into a paceline over the line.  Ten laps into the race just as promised by Phil the was sounded for the first prime.  James Sage must have been the only one who remembered Phils comment and attacked into the wind well before the finish line and before the siren.  The pack seemed caught off guard by this and didn't form a solid chase until they hit the back straight where James was able to keep his lead with the tail wind.  Sean Lunney managed to close the gap and from there the two of them formed a break away slowly taking time out of the pack and managing to lap the field before the end of the race.
