Bastion Square Crit
Hey folks,
I've registered for the Men's Class 4/Citizen race (25 laps) at the Bastion Square Crit this Sunday. I believe today (Wed) is the deadline to register. Hope to see others out there!

Re: Bastion Square Crit
Hmm…now I'm wondering if I should have registered for Men's Masters 40+. Might be more of a B-pace than Men Cat 4/Citizen. Thoughts?
Re: Bastion Square Crit
As an observer over the years, I would suggest that the masters category may be a more friendly pace than a cat 4 race. But make no mistake - there are a bunch of really fast masters guys out there. Just be ready to pin it right from the hop...

Re: Bastion Square Crit
We should really get a group of TSers post Sunday ride to cheer on everyone!
Re: Bastion Square Crit
Ditto on that. At the start, be attentive and ready to go. Even something as insignificant as not getting clipped in quickly is enough to open a gap that you may never close.wonger wrote:As an observer over the years, I would suggest that the masters category may be a more friendly pace than a cat 4 race.

Re: Bastion Square Crit
Thanks Richie and Jeff...I'll add that advice to my list:
1. Don't crash
2. Don't crash
3. Avoid crashes
4. Be ready to pin it
5. Don't crash
See you all there. I'm gonna have coffee at Fairfield SB for 06:45 then leave for Bastion at 07:15 for more warm up and registration.
Looking forward to seeing a good day of races and some familiar faces

Re: Bastion Square Crit
I had a great day today racing, watching racing and visiting with the friendly folks from Triple Shot and the racing community. The Citizen/Cat4 race was full speed ahead as promised. A Kudos shout out to Richie who rocked a solid race, then blasted past the back of the field (myself included) and finished with an amazingly fast dash. I can only hope to look that good when I, well, 'get to be that age'.
Lots of other impressive Triple Shot jerseys representing today. I must say, I was proud to be sporting the club colors today.

Long may you rock those sideburns in our midst, Rooks. Congrats on a safe race!
