Santa Cruz Classic Crit
From Scott Zwizanski:
Raced solo again today. About 75 riders lined up for 50 laps of a hard circuit with a little climb every lap that was made extra hard because of a big headwind. Several breakaways happened throughout the race, but none got further than about 15-20 seconds up the road. I got into a breakaway of 9 riders with about 12 laps to go that finally got a big gap. There was lots of attacking out of this group but nothing getting away until i launched an attack at the 5-lap to go mark. Finally everyone was out of gas and no one wanted to chase, so i was gone. I started catching groups of lapped riders with 2 laps to go. And i held on to win solo. It was cool crit course, super hard. And the course has been used since 1970, so it has some history too.
