Four OA racers at the track tonite for the 'Epic Points Race'! Two in A, and two in B.

Emile and i roll out in a pack of 11, and it starts off rather slow, and remains much that way until the first sprint. Bob Cameron, our main 'threat' is off like a rocket, Emile is on him, and i blow through the field to get the 4th point. I keep the pace up through the sprint in order to try and drop a few people.

We basically repeat this. About mid-way, Emile does a fantastic pull, about two full laps, and shells a few stragglers, leaving Bob, and Chris A in the lead pack. Chris proves to be a real pain, doing absolutely no work in the group... I try a few time to attack and gap him, but since he's been doing nothing but pipping me at the line for the sprints, he's too fresh and strong. Next time Emile and i will have to double-team him with a more focused effort. We've given up trying to drop Bob, but at least he keeps things rolling.

That's pretty much the race, we lap the other three finishers 2, 3 and 4 times. Emile takes second and i in 4th. We need to work on dropping the slacker more......

In the B event, Marty and our latest rider, Jan, were in for some good looking action! I wasn't able to watch, doing an interview with the paper about the upcoming Provincial Championships next weekend, but the race was tight, and i caught Jan on an impressive solo break for several laps (collecting a sprint win) and the final sprint was a clincher, speedy Roland was away off the front for the final kilo, but in the last lap Jan bridged up with Marty in hot pursuit, who then came around and took the final sprint. Final results saw Jan in 2nd and Marty in 4th. That's for VCL (Vic Cycling League) points, since Roland is an A rider, Jan got 1st and Marty 3rd for GVVA scoring - nice work guys!!

Will be keeping a low profile for the next week, hoping to finally score a Provincial medal!!! The Team should do well, but it'd be nice to land one myself for once. ;)
