Thats great about the wood! Im not gonna enter now, I dont trust my form at the moment, last week I did too much hill climbing a couple of days before racing, wasnt recovered.
Last night I made the wrong gearing choice and it messed up everything, it's my 1st year so Im learning ,50:14 doesnt work well for points races! Especially when you have some guy decide to slow right down in a bunch, happened in the keirin too in the last race at the first bend, had to go off the track and it messed up the first lap(and the race) obviously! Was confident of a win in that but got 4th.
Yesterday I was all set to switch back to my heavy Benotto but the gxp crankset hits against the chainstays so stayed with the Aende, a 1kg lighter frameset which you notice in a sprint, too floppy. Dont feel confident sprinting max effort with it so Ill wait till I get my Benotto sorted and more training done. Ill watch the sprints on saturday anyway so I can learn a few things.
