Tuesday Night Track

Hellyer Velodrome, San Jose

September 17th was the last "Tuesday Night Races" of the year at Hellyer.
The previous races were two 24 lap "points races" with sprints every 6 laps. This time we were treated to two 48 lap races. Since I am not a pure sprinter the longer distance was better for me.





Friends came to watch and cheer.

I felt move comfortable on the track this time out so my goal was to get into the sprints and race for some points. The first points race I wanted to watch the other riders and pick up some tips and tricks on how to race a points race.



The tips must have worked. I finished 3rd on the first race and 2nd on the last race.
