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!
