    For those of you who may not know...  
    
    There is an excellent racing series every Sunday morning in Newton,

    tough, fast race, and others are in between.

    Right on Wells Ave.  You will then be on the race course.  Take

    So, what's the story... Nobody interested in racing??

I have attended many of these and still do. There are many members of the

Bicycle Alley racing team who attend these on a regular basis. I'm sure 

you have seen the blue and gold jerseys. This is an excellent training series

which allows all levels of abilities to compete. I would recommend this to

anyone who is considering racing as a good starting point as well as doing

some club time trials.

    Yes, I think I've seen you guys bringing up the rear of the pack.
    
    (Just joking)
    
    I've been going there for years.  Will look around for you.  What
    kind of bike?

    I've been going there for 3 years. I bring a lot of first year racers

    there because its a good place for them to start and get a taste for racing.

    I think I'll be there this Sunday for the "B" race. I ride a green 

    Cannondale.
