Will do. At present, there are _three_ mid-week crit series within range
of my house. Aside from our Tuesday Nighters, the other big club in town
(Team Coastal [boo!]) runs a Thursday Nighter industrial-park crit, and
there's a Wednesday night racing series at the motors****ts park about 30
km from my house.
Alas, last year's weekly TT has not been renewed.
Goals for this year: get to 150 pounds by doing ~2 crits and one longish
ride per week. Hit the Yaletown GP on July 1 in something like race
shape. Be monster-strong for CX season. Start in the velodrome in the
Fall.
