Welwyn Track League - 26 April

Brian Evans has begun his track season with a return to something like his form of a few years back ...
"This is the first time since 2008 that I have had race fitness. You don't really know how you will go on the track until you do your first race. My opener was the scratch race, I decided to hang at the back for the first 8 of the 10 laps. I moved up a bit into the top 15 coming into the last lap, 2 riders jumped off the front and with 3/4 lap to go it looked like no one was going to chase them, being a racer I thought I would give it a go, they were maybe 50m ahead. I moved up and past the group hit full gas and started to reel them in, I passed one but was just short of catching the other before the line but I had a big smile on my face for taking 2nd.
I did the points race but only managed to get 2 points, it's a young mans race. The Devil went well but I had failed to notice 2 off the front and got eliminated because of it. I then rode the 10 miler, probably covered about 6 miles before the pace took its toll. I was very happy with my first outing of the year and hope to be joined by Tony, Nick, Spencer and Richard as the season progresses".
