Training Ride 83 - 2025 - To nice not too ☀️😁

It's a long fairly flat circuit, with one small climb and one little drag up. It was mainly a cross wind and we didn't really pick up a tailwind.  It started early on the first lap with the attacks, but there was a team there with 4 young riders, and they were making sure they got a rider in the break each time and left 3 sitting in the group blocking. Which was good tactics, but later on not such good tactics, as they were not firing riders down the road they were just sitting on. So I would close the break down, then would try attacking myself, but instead of riding with me they just sat on, which gave the others a chance to shut it down. That is how the whole race went lots of attacks and I could really string them out on the climb, but just couldn't make them stick. So it came down to a small bunch sprint as with all the attacks it had reduced the group down. Bit frustrating but that's racing, at least no mechanical today and the legs are starting to feel good.
