An interesting topic which I'm glad has come up for
discussion.
I've returned to racing after almost a 20 year
vacation. Back then racing as a junior in New Jersey
the corners were used to weed out the inexperienced
racers. Some times a corner would be taken inside and
the next time around it would be from the outside,
always keep 'em guessing I guess.
Needless to say I saw a few serious crashes back then
and am curious / concerned about cornering out here
there days. Learning through observation can only get
ya so far, and since I'm a bit older and coming back
as a Cat 5 I'm not so proud that I won't ask for help.
Where? Where can we learn to corner? Are there
groups that get together in the area that just play
practice criterium?
Any info is always appreciated

compete in short course
criteriums. Yesterday in the Lake Oswego Crit,
someone in the 4/5 race
thought they could pass by taking an inside line on
turn 2 on the last
lap. If the field is taking an outside line, and 1
rider tries to enter
the turn on an inside line, then that 1 person is
going to cause a crash
- which did happen. The only place to pass on such
a course is the
straights. For the safety of everyone, and the
continued success of
these great 'downtown' courses please learn how to
corner, and when to
pass.
