Aw, and i'm the favored crosser. :-)
The course at the hilton was great. I didn't imagine a golf course would be quite so hard to pedal over. The rough, really was. I decided to not try riding the sand pits, I took a run before the race and failed miserably.
I'm getting faster. Measurably. I also think flannel mike is getting faster. *shakes fist*
