May 8

"Solid", that is what my son says when you ask him how something is going and it is going well.  This past TNR was a solid night.  The weather was solid.  The rider attendance of 28 was solid.  The pre-ride rehash of the past weekend's racing was solid.  The ride safety was solid*, and the lack of mechanical delays for the most part was solid.

The night was part 2 of the black/white/eots team sprint competition.  It proved to be close to even with the sprint wins, white took 3 sprints, black 2 and eots 1.  The difference in the point totals were the value allocated to each sprint:  the numbers played out as follows:

white  pts11
black  pts 7
eots    pts  3

2 week total
white 25
black 11
eots  6

next week we will throw a little wrinkle into the scoring.  Stay tuned to the blog for details.

Weekend CFT race summary.  Below are the results we know of. 

Cary Roseth, 2nd M35
Bryan Waldman 3rd cat 5
Robin Allen 3rd M55
Craig Newell 4th cat 4
Eric Phreed 16th M45
John Gracely 9th cat 4
John Draminski 10th cat 5
Doug Derdowski and Wade Burch, top dozen of M35, lead group, but we did not see result for final placing.

Well done.  Cat 5's  time to upgrade and help the 4 effort!

later

*I saw one blatant yellow line violation, not just a violation, but a violation to advance position. Not cool! Think twice next week, you know who you are.
