San Rafael Twilights

I decided to not race in this one, but E and I went to see the pros. The women's race was really good, lots of breaks, lots of hard work. ProMan and Tibco fought it out for dominance and in the end, ProMan prevailed. Coming out of the last turn it looked wide open, then a bolt of lighting named Coryn Rivera struck, leaving me to mutter "Holy Shit" and the rest of the girls to watch in awe.

The mens race was equally good, one of the best fields I've seen. USA Crit Champion Rashann Bahati, Ben Jaques-Mayne, Dan Hollaway, Freddie Rodriguez, Chad Gerlach, and the day's winner Ken Hanson, put on a great show. The final sprint was awesome, with Hanson just holding off Bahati for the win.

Unfortunately no pics for the men.

This weekend should be a good one for racing, Saturday in Novato and Sunday in Berkeley.
