The giant spring storm that was to dump over a foot of snow on us missed and the weather for the
Roubaix ended up being perfect. About half-way through the first lap, a couple of the 35+/4 strong-men decided the group of about 60 was too big and put the hammer down. I held on for another half lap, but then popped out the back and was relegated to the chase group. As we had two teammates (Brian and Kevin) in the break, I had my excuse not to work too hard and try to pull the break back. At the end, I decided not to sprint for 17
th place and ended up feeling guilty that I didn't "try."
