I found out last night how great my neighborhood is for crit practice. It's a full mile of turns and hills and kids going, "WOW! Did you see that guy." I burnt my legs and lungs up real good - in just ten miles of sprinting and climbing. It really showed me how much I need to improve.
Hey VV, are you planning to go to the Monday night GCC ride? I may be able to. I'll know today.
