Holla! I see sunshine! Day 2 of the TDK was in full sunshine! We all woke up to an amazing breakfast buffet with unlimited coffee..which is all I need to make me happy. Once we all ate and were ready we had to travel about another hour to the race site..
We are very sad our director, Pablo, couldn't be here..so we made him a short video to tell him how we miss his pretty little face!
We got there a couple hours early and set up shop. Todays race will be a bit longer so having more nutrition on the bike is important. It's a flat race for the most part, but there is a climb towards the end. Watching all the guys warm up and get their nutrition ready makes me question everything I thought I knew! I guess everyone does have their own way of prepping for races.
Alex is one of my buddies on the A team...we had to ride together for a longer ride earlier in the year (450 km charity ride!) and he is a hoot. He broke his bike the day before in a crash so had to sit out for a day while his newly purchased bike is being transported
Derek is a teacher in Korea and rides for the Cannondale team here. We met at a few other races!
His teammates gawking at us taking a photo
I wanted to make these guys uncomfortable, so I took a photo of them while they were taping me :)
Getting the wheels ready!
The race wasn't too hard and there weren't too many terrible crashes. I made it about 25 km until race finish and got swept. As I had said in another post, you have to stay with the peleton or shortly close behind, if you fall off the back you get swept off the course.
