Phone home 'cause it's 38 days to go!
Homegirl probably wishes I had started my count down a little earlier.
I did some roundy rounds at the track tonight for the first time this year. That's probably why I don't have a sprint on the road this year, my leg speed it g-o-n-e gone from last year. Luckily I found where I left it and looks like I have time to get it back.
Anyway, the racing was fun. In the 15 lap scratch race (scratch race = first guy across the finish line wins) it was quite difficult to get my now desiel engine legs spinning fast compared to the zippy legs of the track guys. I finished without crashing.
The second race was a miss-and-out-becomes-points race. whuuut? Miss-and-out = last guy across the finish line every other lap gets pulled out of the race. I did my typical sit at the front and set the pace until we were down to the remaining 7 riders then the race turned into a 20-lap points race. Three quick legged trackies took off, Dale looks at me and asks if I would like him to chase those guys down. My reply = "man, I'm just here turn'in some laps" Dale's reply "oh, ok." He then takes of after the three escapees. Those three eventually lap us, then Dale laps us on his own. Way to go Dale!
The rain came and we had to go home.
Oh yeah, I think it's about 65 days until this. Only throw a dirt bike tandem on the top of that thing and we are ready to roll!!
