The Drives

13-May-08

I can usually get to the Drives from work by the time the pack is starting  lap two.  Last week I was in a B ride.   By that, I mean it was a good pace but nothing ridiculous.

Memorial Hall Crit, Revisited

05-May-08

Did Memorial Hall Crit this weekend. This was the first pack bicycle race I ever took a stab at two years ago.
That time I got dropped about 7 laps in, and was pulled from the course not long after. So things could only get better this go round.
They did. Although, not tremendously. [...]
