Tour de Parc - Criterium

This Sunday Py went with the Green Arm Bandits to the Tour de Parc in Wantagh. A nice sunny Sunday, also no need to get up crazy early today -- how is that in a while? It was a very windy and chilly day, but nice and dry.

The CAT 4 started 10:30. For the first four laps speeds were quite high up chasing after an early six rider break away. At about lap five out of 25 they seamed to gave up and the pace settled a bit down. On of the Bandits, Rob, was in between the six. From then on nothing in particular happened. Py stayed almost all the time with in the first few position in this 2nd pack and shared some leading and little play -- in particular feeling and being most safe up in front. At about 2 (or was it 3?) to go, the break away actually lapped the field behind and thus the race was over at 25 laps for the break away and with 24 laps just going to the finish for all others. Not 100% sure, but Py thinks the Bandits came in at 6th (Rob?) and 11-12-13 (+/-2 or such, not exactly sure yet until full results are published) Own, Py, Chris -- not sure about Mikes position.
