Tuesday, July 29 Race Results

18 weeks of racing on Tuesday Nights are behind us. That leaves us with seven Tuesdays remaining before elite track nationals. We will not be racing on September 2 as that date collides with masters track nationals. All seven dates (Aug. 5, 12, 19, 26, Sept. 9, 16 and 23) will be in the points race format.

I need a volunteer or two so that I can jump into the points races on Tuesday night. Ideally it will be a C or B rider that can score the As race. After watching last nights action I am convinced that my legs need to catch up with what I’m seeing out there. Check out the As scoring and you can see how close these race were. Exciting stuff! Please contact me if you can spare 40 to 100 laps of your time.

Thanks to Bob and Suki for flipping lap cards, we always can use help with the lap cards. Thanks once again to Marc and Jen for the freshly baked brownie primes!

Finally, we need ten women/ juniors in the C field to move the men to the Bs. Thanks go out to the men in the Cs that held back on their racing but still gained some pack experience.

Tuesday, July 15 Race Results

I was wrong… I thought that we would have a record number of riders show up on Tuesday but no. Maybe it’s the gas prices or the Oakland and San Jose criteriums but if folks think that they are going to do well at nationals without time on the track they may be in for a shocker. Nuf said!

So, we combined the As and Bs and ran three races for each group. Great time to practice pack skills, and the scramble for points was on…

Tuesday, July 1 Race Results

Back to points racing…. That’s what I’m talking about! A relatively large group of riders came out to race their bikes on a beautiful summer San Jose evening. Light winds and temps in the 70’s. It doesn’t get better than this!

Pop quiz: 4 person breakaway is collecting all the points. 3 take a lap and 20 extra points. 1 stays behind the pack. Who’s the leader on the track? It happened in the Bs race!

Another thank you to Marc and Jen for the Chocolate Chip cookie primes. Thanks go out to Jen for flipping lap cards too.
