With only 40 miles and one ride under my belt since the crash two weeks ago, Mongo wasn't expecting much today. I'm only about 75% healed, and in the past two days I got a head cold and pulled a muscle in my back while I was yawning. Yes, you heard me...yawning!
I was really hoping for an easy ride when I headed up to the staging area at Smyrna Bicycles. That was not to be the case. All the big hitters were there...Boonen, Irish Brian, Crazy/Superfast Gary, Alp d'Huez Mike, and a few other random dudes.
Mongo "middle of the pack'd it" all ride, and was able to hang. I didn't contest the breakaway at the end on purpose, and finished fourth or fifth. It felt good to mix it up in the peleton again.
