Teamwork works at Saranac Lake Downtown Crit
We had a good day and not so good day crit racing today. It was a great downtown course and great weather. Andrew was racing well at the front when his tire went flat going into a corner. He crashed and I ran him over and took a header off my bike. Andrew is ok, but got some road rash. I was able to get a free lap and got back into the race with 20 or so to go. Jean and I raced well. I took a $20.00 prime and then got ready for the finish. Two guys were well off the front and Jean and I wanted three and four. Jean moved to the front with me and we communicated through the last two laps. I was his co-pilot leading up to the finish. We came around the last corner in fifth and sixth and took the field sprint easily. Jean ended up #3 and I got #4. Its always nice to walk away with some cash. It was also great to work the last laps with Jean knowing what each of us could do and communicating.
I found a video fron the criterium —see if you can spot us as we fly past
