I'm quite happy I survived the race today.

Me too.. perhaps for different reasons than yours. They put the 45+ with the 35+ guys today. The heavy hitters in the 35+ are a significant subset of the 123 field around here. It was fast... same speed as the 123 that followed, albeit shorter. I was reminded of this...

I like those older guy races, though the 35+ would likely be brutal. I'm quite happy rolling the 55+, but today, it was the 35+4. Scary, scary, scary. I forgot to turn on my Garmin, but not the camera, and reliving it was even worse.

There was a 35 3/4 race in the morning I should have probably done, but I wanted to save my matches to have any chance of helping a team mate who is contesting the local points thing for 45+. As it was, I was pretty much useless... pulling out into the breeze to do anything felt like being hit by a train... single file 45 minute express train.

Bicycle racing is for idiots. I know, I did it on and off for 20 years.
Eff Bike Schwag. Now I need a new mixer for playing out. Considering one of these:

The next Addiction will feature a titillating thread title. (Say that 5 times fast.)
Expect an unusual number of people coming by asking "What's this thread about"?
Or pervs, we'll probably attract more pervs . . . . I mean more than the ones we got already.

The end is very near.
Pack your gear, prepare to move out.
Leave your carbon bikes behind, they're too explosive.

You folks go on without me, I'm going to stay behind and calm this screaming lady. She looks kind of cute, actually. A bit high strung, yes, but nobody's perfect.
