Tonight was the the local ciruit race down at the ol race track. Oil + wet slick pavement= disaster! We didn't even make it around the first corner before the first rider slid out. He was attacking and just slid out and took out the guy who was going with him. I went on the attack with 4 other guys including Kirk. You put 2 fast sprinters in the break GAME OVER. We stayed away for a long time and Kirk and I went 1,2 in every points sprint. With 3 laps to go a group of 5 riders bridged up. Didn't make much differnce. Kirk followed the attack of one rider on the last and he beat him in the sprint so he had enough points to win. I followed suit, and won the sprint for 3rd and had enough points to hang on to 2nd overall race.
