We typically have 25-35 racers in the weekly crit. I'm typically back and forth between 2nd wheel and 10th wheel. I'm a better descender and bike handler than most of my peers, but I'm not a great climber. I'm also 15-25 years older than most of the top 5 or 6, but I try not to let all those extra years make me overconfident.
