TrainingPeaks Virtual - Big Loop Reverse Scratch Race | 50.6km | 319m

Starting over with fitness after a nagging injury kept me off the bike for a while. This a a scratch race with bot on a flattish course with some rollers. Strong winds added to make it harder and more tactical breaking up the big groups. I was ranked seeded 13th and only sought to finish ahead of that. 60 racers in a single pen with a gentle 2km neutral start.
