Yes, Goddess,
I'm taking a beginning women's class at the Marymoore velodrome in Redmond (across the lake from Seattle). A couple of teenaged girls at Bike Expo talked me into joining them for the Wednesday night women's races -- and the class is mandatory to race. I'm riding pretty consistently in the 13-15 mph range, which is not really race ready. I want to be able to clip along 18-20 sustained b/f I join any road race. I have NO idea what to expect on the track, but I'll give you a full report in a few weeks!
Alpenrose is your 'drome, right? Cute biker boys, exhilerating racing...
Monday I'm going to start a 1xweekly hill intervals training, a la MM_QFC and her general. If I don't die of a heart attack, I think I'll end up a stronger rider.

Did you ride today? Windy here, but beautiful no less...
