Today was the first outing of the year, a 30-ish mile training race. The MJCF had 3 of the team riders in attendance, Eijai (CMJC), Lucca (5 Valley Velo), & Wyatt (CMJC).
All 3 riders rode in the "B" group, which looked to be 20-30 riders strong.
Lucca had an early flat, but after getting a spare wheel from Wyatt he was able to get back into the group as they passed on lap 2. After that he showed that he is a going to make some more waves this year.
Wyatt & Eijai spent the race learning to work together as well as learning to work with the rest of the Cat 4 riders. Eijai got suckered into following an illegal and extremely dangerous pass over the yellow line. After the race he received some extra "Coaching" from the Queen of the Peloton herself, Tamara. I believe that is something that we will not see again from Eijai. After moving from the Junior field to Cat 4 this year, they both seemed to be up to the challenge. Drawing the short straw before the race, Eijai led Wyatt to a near perfect sprint at the end. But since they got derailed by a crash right before the finish, it was more for practice then actual results.
