You've GOT to be joking! I'd expect to see you out at Elgin. It's the same day as the Elk Grove Village suicide/death race (so all the Tour wannabes will be there), and it's got a Cat 5 only field.

By the way, you were paid about the highest compliment possible early in that race. I'm not sure if you even knew it, but about half way into the first lap you and a couple other riders managed to open a small gap on the field. Some guy in a South Chicago Wheelmen jersey came flying by me yelling, "We've got to pick it up, or they'll get away." You made the field nervous.

My race ended a DNF after my stupid computer sensor zip tie snapped. The sensor kept banging into the spokes. As I suspected, the wheel pit officials wouldn't give me a free lap (makes sense... it was completely my fault). So, I pushed solo until I got lapped, then pulled off.

Bike racing is too much fun. It really is.
