Ta Herrera showing good form & satying connected at Worchester
Next up for a few of us Downeast Racing racers are a couple of crits - Beverley, MA tomorrow and Concord, NH on Saturday. These are staples on the New England racing circuit - well organized and well attended. Beverley has two tricky acute angle corners that encourages the "accordian effect" on the field where the string of riders contract entering the corner and string out upon exiting. Those in the front of the line have a cleaner and smoother time through the corners. Those toward the back do a bunch of braking and then sprinting to catch back up. That gets tiresome and the field often breaks up. Concord has smoother corners but the seperater here is a one block long big ring hill which, too, tires the legs and often allows a break to occur. In each race, smart riding is towards the front - always easier said than done since everyone knows that!! We'll let you know how it goes.
