EVCC Crits today. Someone decided that 50min was too easy... 1hr20min +bell fer C grade.
Pace was pretty high, there were a couple of guys at the front that attacked really hard... constantly.
I stayed in the first 5 or so for most of the race, took some turns at the front,
chasing down some of the attacks was absolute murder but I managed to still be in the first bunch into the last lap.

Three corners from the end some plonker ran wide on the exit of a sharp turn... all the way to the edge, and I was on his outside.
I ended up in the dirt trying like hell to keep the shiny bike from getting hurt. (handles quite nicely in the dirt btw )
Got back onto the track (with a fair bit of aggression at the ready) put my head down and went as hard as I could.
I passed a lot of people that had been spat out the back when the bell went and managed 6th with the sprint bunch about 20 metres ahead.


A few others saw what had happened and by the time I got back to race control/the bbq, a couple of
other people had already given this bloke an earful fer nearly running them orf the track too... seems he
has a reputation fer being a bit 'off with the pixies' at times and has a lot of trouble holding his line.

No real harm done, I was a bit disappointed though as I wanted another crack at a C grade sprint with all the regulars there.

1hr18min. 47.5km @ 36.5km/h. Is that distance/time still a crit?
Legs are a bit tired atm.
