BVC Friday Racing - A/B again - fast....

More AB fun... 

First was an Elimination, I got stuck at the back and didn't feel like fighting for a hole and took an early trip to the infield...

Next was a 4x10 Points race... fast.. I sat at the back and let the young guys duke it out for the
 first 30 laps, at one point about 10 laps average speed about 49km/h, then moved towards the front for the final 10 laps, average speed about 48km/h, then final sprint up to 58km/h for the finish. I think I was lapped several times by Kirk Obee and a couple of other A's and I was in the main field. The last 10 laps was fun. The main field had thinned out so there was room to move around and do something.

Last was a 25 lap Point-a-lap. Started out with a couple of warm up laps at > 50km/h... Then slowed down to a more sedate 46km/h for a few laps, then back up again... Did I mention that Kirk Obee (and one or two other A's) passed me in lap 4... my average speed until then was 48km/h. From that point it was more or less impossible to tell who or what or where the actual front of the field was... I just kept sucking it up and trying to find someone to work with to try and bridge back to what appeared to be the main field... well at least it was the next biggest group on the track.. About 6-7 laps average speed 49km/h. At that point I (me!!) started to see some lapped riders but with only a few laps to go with Kirk Obee passing by for about the 4th time I found a wheel and rode home on Anthony Kings wheel for the last two laps.
