Yeah so am I!....actually the 'Hell ride' ian't that bad as long as you keep your wits about you....& stay near the front....it's the ones from the middle back that uaually cause the problems. The bay crits are a bit different....skinny little courses designed primarily for TV & spectators...in the B grade, anyone can enter, so you get a lot of different standards of rider in there....& for the first few days thay all think they can win!.....A couple of years ago they were racing outside 'crown' on the final day (guess who put all the money in?)....it was a light drizzle on this hot dog circuit. The sharpest turn was across Tram tracks....in the rain....need I say more?...sure was a good spot to watch bike carnage though
