1 week until Banff races

Less than 1 week until what I have been waiting for since last fall.

The nice weather brought out 25-30 guys for Hammernight Thursday. Rolled into Banff where we took part in a 2 lap 'practice' around the Tunnel race course. 8 motorbikes and pace cars and we were off, really cool atmosphere where the pace was supposed to be mellow but you know how that goes. Around Minnewanka then back to Canmore for a 95 km night.

We actually had a selection process for this years race even with 7 guys being allowed. RMCC could easily have 10 members but some guys do not race therefore not in high enough category technically. But the 7 entered are solid - nice range of strengths thrown in there.

1.75 ride last night by myself. Surprise corner-Tunnel-Minnewanka/J Lake-Tunnel. Hard tempo pace with 10 or so 10-15 sec bursts.
