Fellow trackies,

  Good to hear that people are racing again, I'll be out there as soon as
I get my banana peeled!  Greg's made a good point...the first few weeks of
racing you should always ride a smaller gear.  Especially if you haven't
been out on the track much this year.  It will be frustrating at first
because you will think "I could have beat the guy if I had just had a
little bit bigger gear."  This time of year it is much more important to
train those legs to spin FAST.  It will also reduce the risk of injury
since your legs won't be used to jumping in such a big gear.  I always
tell people to start out in an 88 or 89 inch gear (49-15 is good).

  See you all out there!

Scott
