The more prepared novice races are for their first race, the better the experience will be for everyone. If you're a "novice coach" or just trying to provide any prospective racers with some basics, please feel free to use any these images.

in that last picture you should substitute "keep hands on bars" with "unique celebration"...if you want you could put the "hands on bars" arrow to someone behind the first guy.
As seen in photos Bert, you are a person who needs some specific training time for this...i want better results in this dept this year from you.
Nah Andrew, just trying to teach the newbs how to follow the rules and not crash. Plus, it's pretty sad if you're that happy about a Cat 5 race.
i was mostly kidding.
But, i think anytime you cross the line first its considered a victory, which deserves a victory salute. Seriously though, its exciting to win any race no matter the level.
what wouldn't be all that exciting is for any CAT 3+ to enter a CAT 5 race and win. now that would be sad and also against the rules.
btw, you called me "sad".
Okay, you're absolutely right - a win is a win at any level, and it's hard to come by so everyone should take pride in it. Posting up is mostly a matter of emotion anyways... but hell I am scared to take my hands off the bars in our races.
BTW, my main concern would be "get across the line!" and THEN "holy crap I won?!?!"
This is great work, Bert. I'll definitely use this as a reference for newbies.
Nice work, thanks for posting.
