Tuesday, May 6 Race Results

Points Races are so much fun to watch. I had a blast out there tonight. Not only was there great racing but there were also some great efforts, including some notable rider improvements.

Eleven women showed up and ruled the first race of the night. Wow, was that fun to watch as Beth, Sabine, Alison and the gang played out their tactics. First class racing. Beth raced two Cs events and then placed 5th in the Bs event to fill her night. Sabine rode an impressively tactical race. Congrats to all.

The Bs racing is almost always the most competitive event of the evening. Check out how many riders scored points and were in contention! Very competitive.

And, finally the As race had a competitive event. I say this because the As usually have a few ringers show up and dominate, but not tonight as there was a full field of ringers. Yes, we are off to the races for 2008!

Thank you to Gerry for the Aussie Pies and to Marc and Jen for the Chocolate Brownies, which made for some great sprinting!
