Finally took the elusive Lake sprint "win". :) HUGE group this morning. Guessing around 100 people. I started at the back. Man there was some sketchy riding. On Great Highway, I followed Matt's wheel most of the way up to the front. Once we got on to the lake lap I ended up following wheels to the front. Honestly, I didn't know where to be. People up front where jockeying for position which I didn't really want to take part in. I was up here to "race". I thought about drifting back but decided that would be more dangerous. And then I'd be at the back with all the potential dangers. Just before getting onto Skyline, a small group started to breakaway and a gap was starting to form. Scott scooted through a gap to close up but I just decided to hang tight and be patient. Everyone came back together on Skyline. After Great Highway, Matt came by me and I got on his wheel. People started to sprint before Lake Merced Blvd. but again, I just stayed patient. They weren't going that fast. I knew I could sprint faster than they were going. Raymond and Matt started their sprint and I just stuck on Matt's wheel. We started hauling in the people that started early. I was itching to really wind up my sprint but I decided to stay behind Matt for as long as I could. Eventually it was just the three of us. When Matt went by Raymond, then I went by Matt for the win! It's gotta be The Plan! :) We heard after that there was a crash on the east side of the lake, around the golf course. I think the group was so large this morning because of the Claire's Kitchen pop-up at the top of Twin Peaks. It was a huge line. I pre-ordered the Apple Galette, Chocolate Pear Muffin, and Chocolate Cake w/Salted Peanut Butter Buttercream. I had the cake there and took the other stuff to go. The cake was really good, as is the Apple Galette. I'll update about the muffin later. Update - the muffin was delicious!
