an elite few out to the hills today

The winter like morning fog brought only an elite few out to the hills today. Surprisingly it was still rather warm out on the course, the air becoming almost muggy and some of our usual suspects (Alex) had breathing difficulties, even on the drugs. Joel was the surprise of the day taking points in both the sprint and hills competition as he had promised the day before. Michael on the other hand had a difficult time trying to keep his tally on target due to good performances in the past (the tally is based on improvement over previous weeks) but his plan of let the first hill go, and then spank the others hard half way up every remaining hill worked but did not pay off in the tally. The final standings on improvement

place  rider      most improved
  1      Joel       -0.01 
  2      Michael    -0.02 
  3      Alex       -0.25 

The score negative as last time we were up against 6 riders and this time only 3
