Windy GJ

Today was a very windy day in GJ. Even though it was windy it was a great day on the bike. Chris, Jeff, and I road up little park with a very nice pace. Jeff fell back a little and Chris and I kept rolling up the climb. We were rolling, i stayed with Chris for the climb, so it was a good climb for me. Then we road over to the monument and road down. Since it was so windy it was cold on the descent. Once we got down i was struggling just to stay upright it was so windy. It was like a 2 hour ride. I came back and rested for a few hours then headed out to the Tuesday night ride/race. The weather did not look so good on the way out it looked like it was going to rain. But there was a handful of people who showed up to ride. After about riding for ten minutes the field broke apart. It ended up being Dillon, Conor, SS, Stu and I off the front. We just kept pulling through and road away from everyone else. Chris knew there was a big climb coming up and he told me that we were going to attack at it. Once we were rolling up to the climb i knew Chris was going to attack so i stayed on his wheel. Once we got towards the top of the climb he went i got on his wheel and we just powered away. At first i thought they were going to catch us but we both mad huge pulls and we stayed of the front to the finish. We were coming up to the finish and i pulled through to pull and attacked and Chris didn't have a rest yet so he couldn't get on my wheel so i took it. Then not to longer after Conor and Dillon came charging to the finish and Conor took third. Mesa 1,2,3. It was a good day even though it was windy. 4 hours of riding not bad for a windy day.
