I might be out, but I might be doing my secret fangle dangle training. I will see how the legs are feeling as I gave them a bit of a hiding this morning. Also I need to be at my best (baaahaahahahahahahaha) for Murrarie <sp?> on Saturday morning.adam85 said:
Adam, I am considering jumping up to B-Grade in another week. I didn't really have to work too hard in C-Grade last week eventhough I did a few turns on the front and finished about 20m off the leader (Need to get better at positioning on the last lap
) Average speed was 39.4 and the C Grade guys were saying that it was faster than usual . How do you find the speed diff between B and C?

Adam, I am considering jumping up to B-Grade in another week. I didn't really have to work too hard in C-Grade last week even though I did a few turns on the front and finished about 20m off the leader (Need to get better at positioning on the last lap
Dunno Paulie, I only did one C grade race, and that was only to help out Abby who didn't show up coz because [insert any random lamo abby excuse here
]. Average speed for that one was way less than 39.4 - that seems pretty high for C. Last time I did B it probably would have been that speed or less. Hard to say how tough a crit is just on ave speed, but whenever I've raced B at murarrie it's very conservative, noone wants to work in a break so if I were you I'd just sit in and let everyone else do the chasing. Or come out to Nundah for something different.We did over 40 at lakeside in A grade last week in reverse direction. That seemed fast for lakeside considering people don't normally push hard up the hills.
You should come tomorrow, I do the LA specifically so I *do* save my legs for saturday, if I ride on my own I go way too hard.

They haven't got daylight savings in Brisvegas. They have to get up
early to compensate. So it's really 6.45 am, 15 minutes before you head
off to do penance at the circus.

My wife opens the curtains at 4.30 to save them from fading. I only get
up to ride because my face gets sunburnt lying in bed at 5.30. Might as
well be out!

They have split B grade now into B and B-1 and there seems
to be a big difference (B-1 being slower).
Earlier this year, when it used to be called Cat 1, I averaged
41.6 and finished mid field. That was my first time up so no
turns on the front. You'd obviously have no problem with that
if you are doing turns and averaging over 39.
A few weeks ago I entered myself in B, not knowing any better.
They started really hard and within the first 10 minutes there
was a break, I tried chasing it down an ended up getting dropped
about a lap later. So I tooled around until I could tag onto B-1.
I had no problem in B-1. No one seemed to want to work.
Avg that day was just over 40.
BTW - the B buys lapped us so they really were working.
Good luck - don't forget the race report.

Are you going to invite KnobDoodle over to this daylight saving thread,
or shall I?

I'm sure that information is somehow relevant, but I don't get it. Is
it one of dear old Ed's accusations or something?

Yep you got it. And don't bring Clem into the daylight saving thread there are enough aus.moto refugees in here as it is! Have you read Boris' anti-bicycle rant in the latest AMCN? I wonder if he'd feel the same way if he knew it was Troy Bayliss or any other the other racers who are also bicycle nuts?

I consider myself as more of a "settler" than a "refuge". ;-)
