Hi,

Yeah, last night sucked. I didn't see the first crash in the 4/5 race. My teammate went down in the Masters race in turn 4 just before the bell lap. I saw someone sweep across his front wheel to the extent that it was almost a body slam. Five riders went down. I stopped since I was behind it and because my teammate was in it. I went up the road to wave the packs to the left side of the road and to try to get them to slow down. Nobody really paid much attention to me in the 4/5 or 1/23 packs.

The worst part was that the 4/5s ended up crashing and almost landing on the guys who were already on the ground. I guess I saw tbrown524 but I didn't know it was him. Sorry that you went down but glad that you're OK.

My teammate ended up with a mild concussion.

The added pity is that I was feeling pretty good last night after riding badly on Sunday.
