Got out for a ride at Port Melbourne. It was raining a bit on the way down, but not enough to dampen my enthusiasm for a race. A strong coffee from the cart got me primed, and soon enough, Graeme, Peter and I were testing the waters in amongst the other riders. Graeme went off the front for a while, but got pegged back. A solid headwind in the back straight didn't help. Peter and I had fairly easy races, and when the call to pull out came from Graeme when it started raining with about 5 to go, and the field spreading itself across the road, it didn't take too much convincing. Vindication came in the form of a crash with two to go. Cracked carbon is never good. A relaxed spin back up through north calrton made for a good day's riding.
