meh. I'm such an idiot. You guys would have killed me at the end anyway. I attacked because I thought we were almost done. It is so much fun to feel like you're all out of juice and totally beaten down for like 15 minutes and then all of a sudden have enough to attack. The dynamics of these races is really interesting to me.
But to reiterate: it would be more fun with more people. Not that I minded a nice, brisk ride with gnawa (I owe you at least a poweraide, btw) monsterlegs and Ceya, but it would be totally boss to have a 15-20 rider field. Come on -- you know you want to. Everyone should come out to Prospect Park on Thursday. It'll be fun!
(BTW: avoid Atlantic and 4th Ave in Brooklyn. The whole intersection and Atlantic Ave on both sides is one giant oil slick. Believe me -- I know!)
