My last outdoor race was in February of 2020, some 19 months ago. After everything settled down just a bit, I signed up for the Mare Island Pedalfest, billed as an urban-cross race. All videos and pictures of previous versions seemed to indicate a lot...
The travel was interesting because one week before I left the Netherlands changed their policy on allowing Americans into their country…but I (and the other athletes) got an exemption from the Dutch Olympic committee to enter without quarantine. We needed vaccination and recent negative test...
I went into this race feeling very well prepared. I got a good warmup, and had a good night of sleep before race day. We were rolling off the start line before I knew it! An early break went up the road a little bit...

Ok, this one was a bad idea. I love the race but with now only 5 days of riding outside, heading to the gnarliest race course in NorCal, with a descent each lap that you have to bomb despite being bumped all over the place...
With fitness from racing with the Red Peloton team on Zwift, but only 1 day of riding in the real world since November 2020, I decided to give a local criterium a go. This field is full of current and former national and world champions,...
