RR: Tuesday Night Points Racing
Wednesday, 27 August 2008
Mice: clm and Liam in the Cs; Mateo in the Bs.
Goal: do some hard efforts and drop out. Short and hard were the intructions.
9-10 people in the Cs, coed.
Race 1 (36 laps):
At the whistle I took off and sprinted and got a gap. A couple of laps and I'm off the front with Liam and "new guy" (tonight was his first time racing). We start doing a rotating paceline until I fall off, but Liam and new guy gain a lap on the field. I do 8 very hard laps and then sit up and spin easy and then drop out. Liam wins race. Woo hoo!
Race 2 (30 laps):
Decide to sit in for this race and not kill myself on the sprints. New guy goes off the front and no one seemed to want to chase. Things get strung out and I'm riding with "other new guy" and Mike and on the bell Mike picks it up. I stick to his wheel and come around him out of turn 4 and hammer it to the line. Yes!!! The 2nd place points are Mine!! Content to sit in and ride easy the rest of the way.
Liam won brownies, so it was brownies and the taco truck for dinner. A very fun night.
