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

Another Friday nights racing spent chasing the A's...

Three races with 5 A's and 12(?) B's... Stewart Bowmer actually managed to get a 5th in the Elimination race... 

Other than that it was a shutout... Us B's might as well not have started the races... We certainly didn't affect the outcomes...

This chart shows the 5x10 points race we finished with... I averaged 47km/h... and I was lapped at least twice by the A's... I did manage to get onto them for about 20 laps when they lapped me the first time... Almost even got a 4th in one of the sprints... My best race of the night :-(

Anyway, overall it didn't affect the B's overall points... So it looks like Ben Cowburn will take 1st overall for the series. I'll take second. Anthony King third.

So now it's a couple of weeks off the bike.. I'm hoping to get up to Whistler and try out the new Peak-2-Peak Gondola. My son Ryan was up there today for the opening. He was skiing Whistler and went over to Blackcomb for a coffee and was back in 30 minutes... He says it is an incredible ride...  4.4km in length with 3km in the unsupported center span. You are 400m above the valley floor in the middle. Apparantly 2 of the 26 Gonodolas will have glass bottoms.. :-)

In April 1975 I ski-toured with a small party from the current Blackcomb lodge location to Whistler via what is called the Hortsman Traverse... took us 10 days... Now it's 11 minutes...
