Wedge Report
Stage 8; Dublin Circuit Race 45km
Darn it! No rain. Oh well. The Brits did a bang up job defending their jersey. Turns out they are the Olympic Bronze medal pursuit team from last year, and they went to the front and kept it at 46km/hr, so no one could get off the front in the wind. The Germans took the sprint, Bluesky (Jason Crookham) and I were in the top 20, and managed to keep our places on GC, 5th and 10th respectively. It was a cool stage, and thousands of people came out to watch in the heart of Dublin. All in all it was a great trip, all the guys did a great job, considering out lack of racing this year, and the fact that it was our first team race together. Can't wait to get home, er, well, to my truck, no, wait, the Toronto airport, and do, uh, something. Oh yeah, get my mountain bike and go to Big Bear.
