![]() Race: Masters & Rookies Races/Track Date: August 8, 2017 Location: Trexlertown, PA Rider(s): Jo Johnson Another fast day of races despite the windy conditions. The youngsters just plain go anyway. There were about 10 of us and 4 gals came from Kissena to mix it up with the T- Town Regulars. The first race was a very fast 1 Km scratch race which turned out to be a 3 lap sprint to the line. I was in the front of the group until the last lap when I was out jumped in the last lap. During the break, I switched up the gear which helped some to stay with the group a few laps longer in the next race, a 9 lap point a lap. Though I managed to hang with the group for a few laps, I could not stay with them and finished off the back. The last race was a 12 lap points race with sprints every 3 laps. This time I stayed with the group for a few laps then a split in the group after the first sprint so I ended up working with the second group of about 4 or 5 riders. Coming in after catching one of the riders who had fallen back. Not a bad day. And talking with the "Kissena Tough” gals, as I named them, after the racing was nice as well. They are not so tough once you meet them. Perhaps I will see them again to mix it up. They have a different style of racing, more mixing it up. Described as a tough style but I did not mind the action though I did have to keep a close eye. Result: 1 Km Scratch, 6th 9 Lap Point a Lap, 7th 12 Lap Points Race, 6th
