Whinings From the Old Dogg Race
Report of the Masters 45+ San Antonio road race by Cycle Logic team member, Kerry Duggan

To sum it up we all raced like dog t_rds from beginning to end.

Not much happened the first two laps except for a few doomed 3-man breaks that faded at the first taste of headwind. Everything was chased down quickly and relentlessly.

Yet, just into the third lap 3 guys dangling 100' off the front were joined by 3 more. None of the big teams seemed to care. One 3-man team tried fruitlessly to enlist help for another 10 minutes but licked their tails and went to the back---so the dog pack laid down and took a nap as all the places rolled away.

For the next 45 minutes I camped out very near the front just hoping somebody would start something I could join. Nothing.

Forty men and 25 women doing a sub-22 mph "B" ride.

Eventually I got bored and did some silly hill drills off the front of the listless peleton just to keep my heartrate up. It wasn't hard even solo into that headwind.
So sad.

Eventually, at 2 k from the finish the women snaked their way to the front to begin their sprint for glory only to be absolutely swarmmed by a million old idiots risking their lives for two out of the money.

So much for wisdom with age.

As far as this race went - that dog don't hunt.
