Tour of Missouri – Sedalia TT

Today was probably not the best day for the Columbia-HTC boys. A few of us took it easy in the time trial and a few of us went for it. In the end no one was really happy with how it went.5dhn

The course itself was about as plain and boring as it can get. Long straight drags and wide open roads. Traffic was also a big problem today, with several riders having to dodge cars and one unlucky rider unable to and was taken out.  I think that is about the worst thing a race can have happen and I’m not sure how cars could even be allowed near us.

After the race a few of us were cracked on the race food so we headed to a local Mexican restaurant for some burritos and nachos. Turns out we weren’t the only ones with this idea as the whole race seemed to be in there. The food was quite good and we were treated like celebraties. One table sent over a pitcher of margaritas, which none of us could stomach to drink, and another table picked up our check! It turned out to be a very nice night, and put us all in a better mood.
