Race 2
 

My first race of the season is still delayed in results but it's looking like 5th or 6th

Yesterday I came in 6th out of my category, with the race won by a guy with a world's silver medal on the track. Nevertheless the pace was quite high.

That gives me 8 or 9 nine points after 2 races. To reach the top 1000 I need to get 40 points before September. I've 20 other races on my calender at the moment.

I think Mayonnaise might help the headgear go down better :lol: :lol:

Keep hammering Euro. You're my (cringe) hero!

Keep it up EURO!!

:beer:

Yawn.

Get used to it. You've got another eight months.

Don't take it personal. 1955 is always yawning.

link to website with results?

Congrats. Are these crits or RR's?

Nice job. Your result begs the question, though, "6th......out of how many". I'd like to assume several thousand for your sake, Euro, but how many were competing?

Keep it up.

fifao since he's racing in the higher catergories (1/2/3 - which one Euro??) they are most likely to have atleast 50 people in the peloton.

Hmmhmmm, so placing 5-6 still is pretty impressive.

What cat are you Euro?

(and don't tell me that I should know already, please)

But then you'd know who I am :) Once I hit the top 1000 the facts will be verified by trusted forum members.


First three races of the season are 'crits' on purpose-built circuits (common here in the UK). Then I move onto a combination of road races, circuit races and three or four stage races.


60 or more in the race, I don't know how many 3rd and 4th cats, probably at least 40. In my experience, getting points is no easier or harder the bigger or smaller the field. The good guys always turn up. The extra numbers are usually made up of guys who hang on for dear life and then sit up in the sprint.


I'm a 3rd Cat, these races are open to Elite/1/2/3/4th and Juniors. The 3/4/J are scored separately from the E/1/2's.

Euro, you could win the Tour de France and you'd still be the Weenie King.

And it's only fitting that if we are to have a King, he be British.

5 ?

Go easy dude. Top 10 is top 10. You don't ask those questions. Have some TACT.

patentcad, just playing with Euro here. As I said in his earlier thread on his first race, we all do wish him in his racing program. I'm sure he gets it by now :)

Good job, dude. I rode a completely pointless metric century today, first one in...in...uh...a hundred years. No, that can't be right. I can't remember. :beer: 's on me.

Your first race results are still not in? Whats going on over there, haven't you Brits heard of computers? I had the results from my TT 30 min after we finished. 75 man field not including the other 300 riders where competing in the other cats. BTW how about a real race report not just a "I finished here" post.

I'll concede right now that you will make it to the top 1000 and get this done with.

Congratulations - I can't imagine what it feels like. But then again, it's not important to me. Now that you have that under your belt, let's reexamine who you are.

Just as I expected. Nothing different. Too bad, given all that time and effort.

At least no one can say that success has gone to your head - those qualities apparently already having been there.

It is interesting that a person with the name that can't be uttered, finished 17th out of 20 in a race yesterday, according to Britishcycling.org.
