Well I survived the 1 1/2 race. I got 4 laps in ( very long laps) i think they were 12 miles long or something like that. there were 150-200 riders on the course at one time. I had a good start, and rode semi cautiousely the first lap to kind of gauge my ability and contitioning. once i realized i was holding up, starting to ride alittle more agressive. the key to this race was keeping it on two wheels and conditioning. I went down only once had one close call and stalled it once. I'm happy with that considering people were going down all over the place. I had some great battles and had a blast. It felt great to race again. I ended up placing 3rd in my class! track was great the day was great! I'll post a video from my GoPro when I go though it and edit 2 hrs worth of footage down to a reasonable time span.
