So the Tour of Ohio is on. It is a 6 day stage race consisting of 1 criterium and 5 hilly road races.

Day 1 was the crit.
The turnout was lower than in years past, possibly 50 starters for the event. The crit is in Worthington Ohio, and the town loves it. They shut down a neighborhood, everybody has graduation parties and whatnot while the race goes on. Good times.
A group of 5 went up the road, I missed the move and didnt chase. I managed 3rd in the field sprint for 8th.

Day 2 was today.
50 mile road race with 3 KOM’s. Attacks flew from the gun, but I just watched the yellow jersey and made sure his team kept things in check. I went for the 2nd and 3rd KOM, got 3rd on one and 1st on the other. We will see if I have the jersey tomorrow morning.
The race started at 2pm, and it was 87 degrees. The finish was on top of a hill, but I had a bad position in the group when we turned on it it, and it kind of finished in the order that we made the turn. Luckily for me there were only 7 guys left of the group, and I managed 5th.

Tomorrow is the queen stage, with 6 KOM’s and a hilltop finish. It is going to be tough. I moved up to 5th on GC today. See what happens.

Awesome.

Sorry so sloppy, battery is dying and I am roaching a sketchy wifi signal.
I flatted a tubular BEFORE the race today, so I have to run my power crap.
For the watt weenies: I am weighing 62 or 63kg.
