2010 Results Black Fly Challenge .
randy’s quick unedited race recap:
black fly was fun. went out and quickly moved to the front so i could see what rocks and roots i should avoid rather than being in the pack.. then a front pack broke off which i was infront right from the start a dude from ‘handlebars’ a team outta buffalo area i think took off and never came back
we pack rode for the first 13-15 miles or so then a dude took off and like 2 of us went after him rode with that guy for like 5 miles and ditched the pack and then he got out ahead of me and disappeared around some corners with 15 to go , i was in fourth at this point before this we had passed a dude that flatted … 10 to go it turned all to road so i dropped into a semi aero position and pedaled hard.. i knew phil mccarth was back with his ommegangsters in a pack (phil got 2nd last year).. and around 2 or 3 to go the pack came up apparently flat tire man caught them and pulled the crap outta the second half of the race… i was pretty tired so i settled into the pack and saw mile to go sign thought about trying to break out again but guys were just sitting and waiting for action it seemed and i didnt think i would be able to hold up for a whole mile… i shoulda gone though cuz there was a really long chute that was super narrow which was hard to move up so i finished in the middle of the pack .. front guy in our pack got fourth i got eighth over all and 1st in agegroup winning 90 bucks which was cool
no flies either it rained a ton before so they were off doing other things… wet sand though makes for hard ridin… definitely a good workout.. then after sarah made me go for a little run with her .. i was very tired and exceptionally hungry .. it wasnt a very fun run haha
