Hehe... not me! I can count on one hand the times I've ridden over 50 miles this spring. I opted out of the Jeff cup. I think I'll just go ride with the fast kids tomorrow, where I can get dropped for free with a lot less driving.
It's looking like it'll be a great showing again for Route 1/Capitol Hill Bikes, though. Our RR specialists have been licking their chops for this one, and the turnout looks big. 7 cat 5's and 13 cat 4's.

Yup. Not sure which version, but I'll be there.

if that's the case, then the profile is deceptive. Boo hoo. I'll play it by ear, but if it looks like it's gonna end in a bunch sprint I think I'll be ok.

You and your teammate were well positioned for the last lap. I ended up 8th in our race. Just finally got home.See you at Tyson's? Walkersville?

My team mate and I were chopped pretty bad by some overzealous sprinter. He was almost sent into a row of cars and I had to run up on a bit of gravel to get 16th place.

Do come out for Poolesville if you can. It's even more pretty a ride than yesterday's route. The trees create a sort of natural amphitheater for portions of the course, and the gravel section is mad fun for the bike handlers (and hugely frustrating for others)
