Round 3 Naples Florida

The next event was in my old habitat, Collier County Florida. The Saturday race was a road race and time trial in Ave Maria. We arrived late Friday night and it was really quiet. We walked around a bit and saw the town center complete with spaceship shaped church in the town center. I would have taken a picture but it kinda freaked me out! The nect morning I warmed up and lined up for the race. This was a pretty fast and curvy race and it definitely claimed a few victims...right at the end there was abig crash and I luckily positioned myself not directly behind it and got away with another 5th place. Not bad! I lined up for the TT next. It was a triathlete vs. Roadie challengeand the road racers prevailed! I, on the other hand finished 7th. Oh well had fun. Sunday morning we were Iin downtown Naples for the Criterium. The weather was Chamber of Commerse weather and the racing was awesome! The course was really nice and passed 1 street over from one of my past residences. Pretty cool. I got off to a great start and the race was pretty safe and ended up with me helping my big friend from Naples Cyclery to the podium with me finishing 4th. I'll take it! All in all a good weekend and still leading points! Next up is The Race of the West and Winter Garden Criterium....some very hectic and exiting racing there! This event is held in a downtown environment that is mostly cobbles! It is spring after all so cobbles it is...the roadrace is held in Cleremont withthe biggest hills in Florida. Stay tuned!
