I thought the same thing about why is their an elite level race in El Paso? Why not Dallas or Austin? I had a hard time finding a descent bike shop that was open last time I was there.

A few hours before the race we ate lunch at a bike shop/restaurant, it was amazing food actually.

Is there is an organization willing to put on a good crit in one of those cities and sign up to be a part of the series?

Nice race. Plan on making a Pinellas video too?

Probably not, after the rain the lens was filled with grit

I think a lot of folks that made that trip to El Paso were focused on points over location. If it didn't factor going into Winston Salem, I'm sure it would have been an even thinner race.

My team had 6 guys in the race, our strategy was actually not to aim for team or individual points and instead try to win the race. We just tried to launch bombs and isolate Best Buddies, but in the end Ben Wolfe was too much.

@@thhorwitz1 Are you on one of the regular squads? I've seen your comments on other vids and was wondering. I was at all but BRM for the eastern leg.

@@sknkwrksowner Hi. I co-own one of the teams that does the full series. How did you do at the races? When we looked at the poitns standing and what we could possibly gain in El Paso, we realized that just by the nature of going for the win we would likely move up on all fronts in points or at least get close to it. But what we really wanted was the top step of the podium. It's great that Gibbons is able to win the overall, but the podium we wanted was the win for the race itself as much as we want to win the series.

@@thhorwitz1 Yeah, I feel you on that. He wants a W just as much as the next guy, but despite our up and coming talents, that Legion train is deep and Best Bud was throwing punches too. "Quietly", we have some guys that won their state and a few races "back home" this year, just like them, so the gap was closing I think. Then injuries hit, but the boys held things together and Tom hit a pre-season goal with the back to back.
