so I can see what I missed out on.  Looks like they are going fast already I heard most averaged close to 26mph in the B race.

Hi Steve,

is the course, and yes the pavement is slowly deteriorating, there are a number of gotcha spots now.  Kevin got a flat this last race.  I've flatted on a spot in the Northwest corner.  The new scary one for me is after the bricks there is a raised seam that would be unpleasant to hit.  Fortunately pretty much everyone knows the trouble spots and avoids them as a group.
 
Take Care,
Nelson.

Nelson ,thanks for the info. Do  you know anyone who races at the Frisco Velodrome ? I can hear P.A. from my house . They have races pretty regularly on Fri/Sat nights. I believe admission is free. It's fun to watch.
 
Peggy & I watched a guy from Midwestern State go around the entire 200 meter track in 10+ seconds.  
 
See you tomorrow.
 
-Steve

Hi Steve,
 
  I haven't been on the track for a couple of years, but have been very tempted this year.  Kevin races out there, and I know by name and head nod a few others, who I also see at the crits.  I talked to Ray the last brevet about going out there for a development class and getting certified.  
 
looks like the upcoming dates are
 
Sunday 04/13 • Friday 04/18 • Sat. May 17th 2pm
 
unfortunately I have a birthday party Sunday, and Friday night the 18th I'll be doing the Walk for Life, so maybe in May.
 
Take Care,
Nelson.
