Well, considering how much time off the bike i have had and how long I have been back on it, Friday night was a success.Turned up with plenty of time to warm upand settle myself. Pinned my number on and started to focus. Race 1 was a 25 lap Scratch race. I was the oldest in the Elite B race and at 34 up against 17-23 year olds I did ok. 2nd in the intermediate sprint and 4th on the line. Happy with that.Race 2 1600m Wheelrace. Held of the Scratchies until 3/4 lap to go and the fitness got the better of me. Finished in 7th.Race 3 a 24 lap point
s race. With out maing to much effort in the intermediate sprints I pulled a couple of 3rds then 6th on the line at the end. Not sure where that put me in the final point score, but I don't care casue I was having fun and getting my legs going.
Emma was bored at the start but hen met the partners of some of the gys and girls I race and train with and she started to enjoy it a bit more.
Now to start getting ready for the Elite A crits again. Keep you posted.
BTW some pics should be up later today so I will see what I can score for you.
