Stage I: San Dimas Stage Race

Today was a successful day for me in my first ever USCF road race (and hence first stage race). Todays stage was a 3.8 mile hill climb time trial up Glendora Mountain Road. The first three quarters of a mile of the course was sort of flat but after that it was pretty much a continuous climb. I started at 9:11 am and the course took me 15:37 to ride. I passed 5 or 6 riders on the way up to win the Mens Cat 5 stage by only 6 seconds! Third place was over a minute back (I don't remember the exact time). I now have to wear the leaders jersey in tomorrow's stage and am a marked man. Fortunately, I have a good team who I hope will help me keep the jersey. I know one thing for sure. Tomorrow is going to make for an interesting stage. I'll post again on the results of tomorrows road race.
