carl, I did a couple of autox events with the miata club a few years back in south st. pete. I had a s10 extreme, and had a blast doing it.

I think that club is still around. They changed their name to FAST. It's funny you say that because one day someone there told me a story about a guy who brought an S-10 to an event. Probably was you. That's awesome!

Yes, it is autocross. I run in SSM, but with my current schedule it will be a while before I can go to an event again. My weekend are limited to evenings after this coming one, and my weekdays are open after about 4. I'll send you a pm with my number so you'll have it.
It was always funny to hear a formerly cocky newbie going 'I can't believe I got beat by a truck!"

I swear I'm going to meet up with you all eventually. This move never ends. Spent all weekend waiting for the appliance guy to fix my busted washer. He never showed. Nice. 
I need a cycle computer so I can tell how fast I'm going. I don't know what my average speed is yet. I had a speedometer on my wife's MTB and when I was a total newbie, I was averaging 14mph on the MTB. I could only reach a max of 22.
I wish I could find out how much faster I am on the roadie. I definitely feel faster at least. A shame I couldn't mount the speedometer from the MTB to the road bike.

Will anyone be doing the St. Pete Bike Club rides tomorrow? I intended to do the entry level one today, but I just didn't make it out the door in time. I'll definitely do it tomorrow for sure.
Since I was already up, I decided to ride around the Beach Drive area to check it all out. Man, no wonder the SPBC folks choose that area to ride. It's really pretty! I was blown away by how many cyclists are out and about in this area. I had to keep scanning around to make sure I don't hit anyone (or anyone hits me) when stopping, switching lanes, etc.. I'm not used to that! Heh, while riding along Coffee Pot Road (I think it's called that? the road that eventually transitions from asphalt to nasty brick), I must've stumbled onto some pro training ride. I got swallowed up by a group of fully kitted out riders! Sorry dudes!
So far, I love biking here. It's nice to not be the only cyclist on the road.
