Yesterday was stop number 5 of our Racing Greyhounds Team Points Series. This is an internal race series designed to encourage participation while developing the skills of all riders at all levels. This series has evolved over the years and has grown into a top notch series spanning all cycling disciplines. The chip timing was a huge breakthrough for the development of the series.
Sunday's Hines Park Individual Time Trial was destined for cancellation due to heavy rains during the day which flooded out Hines Drive. The road was closed but there was plenty of pavement available and the event went off without a hitch. As usual, I placed somewhere in the middle of the pack. Mr. Mediocre.
Here is a series rundown:
The 2012 RGTPS will consist of 19 races -- 7 sanctioned races, 10 RACING GREYHOUNDS internal team-only races, and 2 touring rides. All 10 RACING GREYHOUNDS team-only races (noted with *RGTPS EVENT*) are 100% FREE to our team. All you need to do is show up ready to race! This series is setup so that anyone can win. The Team Captains will be handicapping RGTPS EVENTS so that even our first-time racers have a shot at winning.
