The course was very interesting. After the start finish you went straight for a block and then did a 180 degree turn. You rode back for a block and turned right. There was a straightway with a left turn. Then a short straight followed up a left turn. The road curved and then you made the final left turn onto the start/finish stretch. Someone told Betsy and I we could pre-ride the course. We went to get on near the start/finish and were told we had to enter the course before the last turn.

When we got there, we were lined up in the very back. It was very bad to be lined up in the back on this course. The 180 turn ruined everything. You could come into it with great position and lose it or come into it with bad position and come out worse. The worst part was gappers kept getting in front of me on the 180 turn, so I was constantly passing the same people. Needless to say, I didn’t have fun today. Betsy didn’t either. Tina Pic won it. I was just pack fill. I came out in 20th GC.
