    Hey, sorry I didn't end up going to the class; It was kind of drizzling all afternoon so I figured it wouldn't be happening. I'll try to go next week.

    No worries, I assumed it was rained out. I'm pretty sure it was. Let's try to meet up and go next week. Yeah?

    Zac, you were fine! It all takes time, anyway. I really loved this class! Can't believe I waited so long to get out to it. I liked that they worked us relatively hard...I barely had time to catch my breath in between all of the mock races I did. Oh and I learned that standing starts are really difficult, haha. Amelia from Bike Central totally does it for me. Swoon.

    I'll be comin out to this Wednesdays class. I look forward to getting schooled by Kevin and being tripped out by how it feels to be going 100% through the sprinter's lane...

    I went out there a few Sundays before I took the class, and I have to say most of what I learned was how to handle myself around of riders. Which is mostly common sense. Youll have no issues.

    Do the class then come to FTF. Hopefully Ill come out and actually get to race at it this time. :P

    i've taken a class before, ridden in pacelines, and been to the track about 10 times now. i'm just looking to do some mock races and get improve my rusty paceline skills before going out for a thursday or friday nighter...

  2.  

    i have to do this soon but i dont think they let people ride risers on the track.

    have you ever been to the track? riding risers would be no fun at all anyway. hell, i don't like riding my bullhorns at the track. but yeah, you'd be restricted to the slow lane with those bars. burrow some proper drops...

  3.  

    ive never been. ive got some stowed away somewhere.

    make sure you switch your gearing out to atleast a 48x16 (79"). anything lower is not going to work very well on the track, you'll see why when you get there.

    Haha, come to practice on Wednesday nights. 8:00 PM at PSU. You can meet me at my apartment and we can cruise over. I already told our director about you. And then we go to the track on Saturday nights. So leave both of those open.
