I loved the Saturday Masters racing at TT

I used to race in the early mornings in the CRCA races in NYC, then hop in my car and drive to Trexlertown to do the masters racing in the afternoon. I got to race at TT with some great masters racers and people I later encountered on this forum, like Tom Kellogg. The racing was great! I since moved to a place where the nearest track (still TT) is prohibitively far away (Kissena doesn't count but is still 3 1/2 hours at a minimum). I wish there was one closer. There is no better way to gain bike handling skills, and after doing mass start events on the track, you never again will be intimidated by the close quarters in a criterium or in a pack. If you have an opportunity to do a track day somewhere and have never tried it, I highly recommend it. It is too much fun!!!
