First race, got to learn about neutral wheels
Yep, ten miles into the first lap out of three at the Banana Belt in portland, got a flat, wheel car came by fifteen minutes later and he gave me an Aksium race wheel. I finished the second lap solo, then when I reached the finish, the rest of the Cat 5's were 7 minutes behind me/ 23 minutes ahead of me, so I just stopped and watched the finish.
I volunteered in the morning and got free registration, and I got good some good experience. I'm going back next week.
