    It was a lot of fun, but man was it brutal. It seems like the pace gets faster every week.

    It looks like they moved some people around a bit in the classes too.

    Some playlist Dino. Is that the way you motivate? Play music that makes you want to haul ass to get away from it.:lol: Thanks FB crew, all racers, organizers, and volunteers for making it a wonderful event.

    Too bad about the wrong loop, did you turn in the beginner turn out ? Beginner had an easy lap - lol. When i came in, i asked if i could hit another lap. Would of been 5laps, but well worth it.

    You rock them climbs as if they were in youre way =) Kinda kool to be dicing with you (that was fun). You sir look good on the track.

    I earned a killer T-Shirt from FB, thanks guys.

    What place did you guys end up this week? I was 7th. I got a crappy start and was on the charge, but lost touch with the leaders and kind of blew up trying to catch them on the second lap. I was DONE at the end of the 3rd lap. Good times though and I am already looking forward to next week.

    They have 2 people at the registration table with the results shortly after the race. You tell them your number (or your class) and they will pull them up on the monitor for you.

    I was there but didn't race due to the prior week's injuries. Ava raced and grabbed another first place ribbon in Girls' 6-8.

    [​IMG]

    I met a lot of folks tonight. Some from STR (aviatrix, albacore, and longboarderj) and some from Linked Cycling (ryan, craig, benjamin to name a few). Fun times tonight!

    Oh, Ava's best time of the night? Playing Freeze Tag with the other kids after the race :)

    Great race everyone! It was good to see everyone out there today. I haven't been out in so long. I'm going to try to make it out to another race later this season if work permits. Here are some pictures of the Team FB. Sorry if I missed anyone. I have a some more pictures I'll post up tomorrow but wanted to get these out. You guys/gals did an awesome job today!
