Tuesday, August 18 Race Results

A blown amplifier meant no music for the night, but the racing was great fun. We wrapped up this 10 week Tuesday night points race program in style. 390 riders in total, or about 3 riders per night more than 2008, $3575 raised for our Velodrome, 71% men, 20% women and 9% juniors, and some great racing. Oh, and we did not have a single crash on a Tuesday night points race!

Steve Anderson presented me with a few of these posters that he made up. I can’t wait until we dive into 2010. Good times ahead!

My dauhter Aubrey helped me set-up for the night and was there to selll drinks and goodies to collect donations for her Team and Training Triathlon. You can follow her progress (and make tax deductible donations) at: http://pages.teamintraining.org/sf/bigktri09/anolan

Thank you all for supporting this series, and especially thanks go out to Clif Bar, Peet’s and Jen Coler for her brownies!

Tuesday, August 4 Race Results

2-1/2 hours of racing, 3 hours of the Beatles!

“When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again”
Helter Shelter, White Album, The Beatles, circa 1968

On August 18th we’re going with Live! Music… not an actual band playing live, but a totally wide range of live recordings.

Least we forget that the racing was fun! We had so many B’s we had to split them up. That’s a good sign that track cycling is booming in San Jose! Even still, the B’s are the best races to watch. 13 of 20 starters scored in the first race and 15 of 19 starters scored in the 2nd race… that’s competitive!

Tuesday, June 16 Race Results

I’m sorry for the delayed posting of these results. I’ve got some good excuses so I’ll share them with you. Firstly, I led the team efforts at the 2009 USA Cycling Western Regional Development Camp and that was exhausting, but very rewarding. Secondly I crashed at Nevada City (with the M45 leaders with 3 to go) and broke my collarbone. Thanks for your patience.

July 7 with sprints every 5 laps, July 21 with sprints every 10 laps
August 4 with sprints every 5 laps, August 18 with sprints every 10 laps
Possibly some September racing if interest is high.

Women's night out!

Front row L-R: Beth, Kira, Beth

Back row L-R: Evan, Keila, Ruth, Cathy, Carole, Lisa, Beverly

Some will argue that a hotly contested match sprint is the best event to watch at the track. I’d argue that you can have more fun and learn more things by watching points racing. Fortunately I’m treated to six fun-filled points races on the first and third Tuesday of every month. Athletes working their endurance, trying to hold onto good position for the next sprint, or trying to lift the pace so that it better suits their chances of doing well, or if that lifted pace provides them (and everyone else!) with the workout that they planned. That’s part of what we see out there. We also see lots of great sprints every 5 laps or so with some riders putting out such an effort that they blow up when a rider that didn’t score uses the high speed to counter-attack the move and rides away. Add in a well attended event and the level of competition gets raised. So many possible outcomes, that’s what makes for some great points racing.

We were treated to some great racing on June 2. Hopefully you will come and join us when we race again on June 16th (sprints every 10 laps)

Thank you all for coming out to support this series.

Clif Bars and Peets Coffee certificates were awarded on the results of the 2nd race.

Tuesday, May 5 Race Results

My friend Joe Fineman and me at the Dunc Gray velofrome in Sydney, October 2008

Hours before his crash on the track April 4 Joe Fineman stopped by my house to drop off some Clif Bars to be awarded at these Tuesday night races. He also arranged for some Peet’s gift certificates. Joe has been a driving force behind the track sponsorship for years! Thank you Joe! Thank you Clif Bar and Peet’s.

If you haven’t already done so, please drop Joe a line onto his blog www.joefineman/blogspot.com Sandy is reading every note to Joe as he regains his strength. This was a very serious accident and we need to look out for each other.

What rain? We enjoyed warm weather and some great racing. Another $400 was raised for the track! ($1,020 in 3 races)
