Redlands: first stage race for most of us. Tiff is flying as she is coming off of the Australian summer season, and has gotten in a world cup and a few hard stage races already before coming over here. Good news for us, as we were missing a few of our usual suspects for stage racing, Dots and Ali P and Tina. Tina and Ali were in Europe and Dots was still not ready to race after having been sick earlier this year. Racers for Redlands: Iona, Tiff, Andrea, McKenzie, Kristin, Shontelle, Nikki and a guest rider, Sam Schneider. We were hoping to get Tiff up there on GC as high as possible, with some back up from climbers Andrea and Kristin and the rest would help out where needed and aim for a podium in one of the stages. The end result was pretty much dead on: Tiff got 6th in GC, Andrea and Kristin were the next best climbers, Andrea managed to move up to 13th by the end and stay in there with Tiff to the end.
We got 2 fourth places and a fifth missing the podium 2 near times. It was good to test the legs and get the feedback on where the form is, where we are with the climbing etc.For those of us staying on for Ojai and Sea Otter, we took a little tourist trip down to LA and checked out Hollywood.
Bet you didn't know that Godzilla has his own star!!!!
