Back from VOS

Hey, Valley of the Sun was a good race to start the season. Mike was our GC guy so for me the TT was kind of a leg opener for me. Saturday was the road race. Mike had trouble with his bike during the TT so he was three minutes down in ninth place. The RR started easy but eventually attacks started going. Austin and another guy got away on the 1st lap but we brought them back in right before the KOM (king of the mountains) wich awarded time bonuses to 1st, 2nd , and 3rd. Mike took second. On the next lap I attacked, then Will countered it. Then off mike went while we blocked for him he gained alot of time to go on and win the stage. Sunday was the crit. Mike was now in 4th place GC 27 seconds down. Our plan was to attack and counterattack til' we could get mike off the front to take the stage and the time bonus on the finish. We got him off the front but he ended up being pulled back. Mike took 4th in the crit. Overrall, the race was really good for training and we did really good considering it was our first real race together as a team. PACE BEND next weekend!!! should be fun.
