no one died. huzzah!!

So there was a decent crowd in the 4/5 at the velodrome this last thursday. We made it thru all three races with almost zero chicanery. just a little something 2 laps into the first race. For me it was a good night, 1st in the 1st race, 2nd in the 2nd, 3rd in the 3rd. The block i pulled of in the first race was killer. i love me some blocking. good night and ill have to enjoy this thursday cuz im sure itll be buck hill from here on out. also i still cant believe bob hasnt upgraded me to 3's. i know i dont come out there anough to post consistent points and such but it seems after a point ya should be upgraded. oh well i leave it to mr williams to decide, not like im goona be there all year anyhoo.
the repairs are noticeable to the track slats, and appreciated. Thanks to all who helped fixed ol bessy up!!
crowd showing started really light and buy the end of our first race got up to about 75ish. not bad but i was surprised i thought opening night would be a better draw.

heads up on june 7th/8th the velodrome is hosting national track racers for the nature valley grand pre pre the usual weekend. spiffy eh? the ms150 ends at the velo on sunday im told so it should be a huge crowd.

good day

Well the mtb season is held of for one more week :( clayton was sick and we were not able to storm iola in our new kits. Dang you clayton your supposed to be the healthy one! So the handing will be saved for erics spring cup. instead i went out on the tcbc ride from dunn out too stillwater and hudson. Good ride all around! Everyone had their power moments and i think i finally stole some sprints from randel. the only ones i got were the hill sprints.
Nice group and in general we stayed tight the whole way and pretty much got our paceline down from stillwater home.

Next up is getten our weekly rides of the ground. Im thinken theo will be a wed morning thang. More to come on that on the hub web site.
