Tuesday Night Worlds

I raced Opus for the first time last night, but since my cat.4 upgrade hadn't gone through yet (it got processed while I was there) I had to race 5s.

The course is okay. The climb toward the end is just long enough that some of the 5s got strung out on it if you big-ringed it. I sat in 2nd for a few laps to see what was up, and soon discovered that they sprinted hard for a preem and then took it very easy for a few laps til they sprinted again.

This guy named Rob and I got to the top of the climb after preem 2, and Billy was screaming at me to go hard. I looked back and we had a gap, so I told Rob to punch it and we rode on our own for most of the race. He gave me a preem win, and we traded pulls.

The last time up the hill some guy in a slick Twin-6 jersey smoked past us and a few other guys were winding it up trying to catch up. I jumped and beat one of them, but one guy beat me.

I won points-wise. It was fun. Time for something faster.
