Charles Kyle wrote Smithfield HAMmer Fest CAT 4 Crit Very technical, 3/4 mile loop with one descent and one ascent. Did really well until the second to last lap, then I crashed. Finished the race on a loaner bike. Pack finish. Crash report: Tough race today. Really fast. On the second to last lap, on a descent, I was sitting in forth or fifth. Some jacka$$ passes on the left cuts back and clips the third place racers back wheel and goes down. So at 35 mph I tee boned the bike laying in the road. I hit the pavement hard. Road rash on both butt cheeks, arm and back. They stopped the race, allowed three of us to go to the pit, I grabbed Evan's bike and shoes, finished the race. Ended up with a destroyed front zipp wheel, back tired shreaded, and a scrap on the frame. I hope it is only cosmetic. Oh and one completely destroyed kit and helmet.
