After another long trip to italy staying in Como it was time for my last race of the season and was a big one a UCI 1.2 (if you dont know what that is look it up on the UCI website). And this race was probably the hardest race iv done because there was a stacked field and basicaly iv been ready to get home for the last 3 weeks so the training didnt really happen. Anyway enough excuses, right from the start the pass was on with attacks going all over the show untill a big break of 20odd riders got. so then at 120km we hit the big climb of the day the Madonna del Ghisallo which is famous climb in italy which the pro tour of Lombardia and some times the Giro d'Italia travel up. its 6km at 12 percent or something so bloody hard. well we got there and i was near the back of the 180 rider peloton which was stupid and so i had no way of getting to the front so race over for me.
Not a good way to end my last race of the season but im just glad to be getting back home.

Season over and overall im pretty happy with my first full season of racing. I am real pleased with how consistent i was most of time, just a shame it dropped off a bit at the end but you cant always be good. So now its time to relax and catch up with everybody back in little old NZ so if your in Auckland come have a chat with me in Avanti plus botany ill be working there most of the time im home.
Sweet as thanks everybody following me this year!
