Raced with Marconi Tuesdy nite at E/creek. 35.8k average in 'E' grade 
Got hammered in the sprint by a couple of 35y/olds who have only started racing this month 
and me looking for a rest after Mondy. 
I don't think 'D' was any quicker.

Speaking of exxy, how bad are those 1/8" Dura Ace rings? Got quoted $170+ last night. For a bit of metal worth 2 or 3 cents at the recyclers.
