Thursday night races

We tried something new last night to change up the Thursday night ride. Bracket Racing!! This is a very simple type of racing that puts everyone on equal playing ground. We all went out and scoped the course. Then everyone did a second lap while timing themselves. Once back we wrote down the times and then in two groups of 6 they went out staggered from slowest to fastest. The point is two fold, not go faster than the time you wrote down, but to be the first one over the line. The first group out all got a little excited and Shawn, who was the last one in, actually won because he was the only one that didn't go over his time. The next group was a little better with the last 2-3 people all safe on their time, Jeff was the first "safe" person over the line so he got the win. It was all a lot of fun and really teaches you to ride your own race.
