Riding a miss-and-out like that is effective, but as you found it can also be quite tiring if you want to contest the finish - even if you're only putting in little efforts to move ahead, over 10-15 laps that can really wear you out. Another approach is to sit 2nd wheel, just above the sprinters lane - this lets you get a little draft from the front, and you usually have some room in front of you if you need to move forward. Most importantly, you can ride a steady tempo instead of jumping every lap to stay off the back.jgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-87779051883758600822009-05-07T17:21:00.000-04:002009-05-07T17:21:00.000-04:00Loved the write up.

I know next week they wanted to start earlier, not sure of the following one. We'll play it by ear.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-41907084841836367722009-05-07T15:35:00.000-04:002009-05-07T15:35:00.000-04:00Yeah!

I can't go next week because of school stuff, but definitely the following week.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07434219818361831871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-59778444953515683912009-05-07T10:33:00.000-04:002009-05-07T10:33:00.000-04:00I just reread the post.

I was obviously a bit bleary eyed and tired because some of it didn't make sense. ha.<br /><br />I go over to 91 south (!), 291, 84, Mass Pike, 495, 93. I go south for a bit because I didn't like going through whatever that 91/Mass Pike city is.<br /><br />Watching may be a bit boring - there is quite a bit of down time. If you're on a bike it's okay, but if not, well, there are a lot of mosquitos and such to keep you company.<br /><br />Having said all that, if you're up for a trip, I can alter my route. I think next week I'll go earlier to get more riding in (I left about 2:30 yesterday). I barely have room for a passenger for now but that's okay, I can pack the car better.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-30369532931385468272009-05-07T07:52:00.000-04:002009-05-07T07:52:00.000-04:00Awesome write up!

I think your track escapades are my favorite. <br /><br />I'm not sure what route you take, but if your on rt 91 North in MA by Northampton (exit 19 I think) I'd be on your way up there, and would love to come with just to watch an hang out. <br /><br />I'll get a track bike one of these days...<br /><br />I watched the racing at the Trexlertown velodrome a year ago and it was amazing.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07434219818361831871noreply@blogger.com
