I raced today.
Against a bunch of really fast guys.
No money (or boa constrictor primes) for me, but I finished top 20, which I'll take considering the field.
That is all.

Good job. Take anything where you finish - and rubber side down.

Good result! Alachua, I presume? Did it rain?
It was raining here (Orange Park) and I've decided my 41 year old bones aren't coming out for rainy crits this year.

Really, I'm just jealous that I didn't HTFU and get out there Sunday. I will be skiing in Colorado this coming Sunday so I will miss the next one as well..so sad.
Andy, glad to hear you had what sounds like a good race. The way you've been riding, either I suck or you're going to have a great season.

Thanks, it will be a good season on I'll be toast by April. It will be fun either way.
That just means y'all will burn out two races earlier late in the season.

9 am at Holiday Inn on the corner of 13th St. and University Ave. Come ride in the best "race" of the year. It's simple: Test your man/womanhood, 120 miles, one stop, race last 40 miles, first man/woman to Gainesville wins. There will be maps for those prone to getting lost or dropped, or who want to complete the last 40 miles as a tour. No entry fee necessary. Come on time. This aint no wimpdermere.
