I caught on with three Velo Reno guys. Mike L. and Robby L who I think sat out a lap then got back in it. Tyler T. finally popped off the lead group and we swept him up. The four of us worked really hard together and with about 4 to go we had pulled the lead group back within 15-20 seconds. I made a big pull on the back side intio the wind that was meant to help pull back the lead group but ended up popping Tyler and Robby off. Tyler caught back on with Mike and I with 2 to go. Two on one on the final Lap Mike jumped out on the back side with 800 to go and I sat on Tylers wheel. Mike wasn't going too far and I knew we would catch. Tyler jumped from about 200 to go and I was in the right gear to hold his wheel then hit it FULL Gas from 50 and took him at the line by 1/2 a wheel. ***
