Gateway Cup "Tour de Lafayette" Masters 40+ (P7)

Gateway Cup 2024 – Day 1 Tour de Lafayette This is my 2nd year racing Gateway and I love this event. I think I say that about every event, I guess I really enjoy racing and competing against this field of guys I’ve gotten to know over the last 2 years. Today was a good day for me. My race plan was to get into a break OR focus on being assertive with my position, hold my position and have a strong finish. The crit course is a square 4 corner crit with minimal elevation, reasonably wide turns and decent pavement. It was going to be fast, and I wanted to patrol the front, find the right breakaway group and see what happens… This field was strong and the weather was excellent. Last year it rained all 4 days of Gateway, which is fun in its own way, but today was 80 and sunny. In the end, I finished 7th. Enjoy the video & thank you for watching. I 3 more days of racing before the season comes to a conclusion.
