That winning feeling!

I actually won a race today! A 15 lap points race at chandler. I like this track game, great pain but good fun. Logan cycling club had a track racing this morning, a great way to spend ten bucks and hurt your legs. Surprisingly not a massive crowd, considering it was a cheap and high quality event. If you like track, definitely get out to one of these sunday morning events (not on next week due to the strongman champs, but back on the week after that, check logan cycling website). Because i have not really done a lot of this i didn't know where i should be graded, since there was only a small field they threw me in with a grade for the first race, a 20 lap scratch race. i was blown out the back by about half distance, gearing too light, couldn't spin fast enough to keep up with the fast experienced guys. The organisers dropped me back into b grade for the next couple of races, probably a good call.

Next up was something i had not done before, Keiran racing. paced behind a motorbike for 4.5 laps, then the bike pulls off and its a one and a half lap sprint to the line. messed up, was sitting in fourth wheel for most of it but let third open too much of a gap to second before i moved up to close it. ended up 3rd, not bad for a first attempt. good fun.

Last up, a 15 lap points race. Went hard early, jagged the win in the first sprint, let the others have the fun for the second one and then worked hard to finish second in the final sprint. 9 points, winner!

Hopefully some bigger gears arrive at the bike shop for me this week, looking to rip it up again on tuesday night. see you all soon!!

PS, hell pizza is awesome!
