I assume the Tuesday night Time Trial at Bethel Loop.

I wish I was going Jkizzle... would be good to finally meet you somewhere off the board

its a race simulation i guess. you dont have to pay (and theres nobody to sue if you get pancaked by truck), and you dont win anything, but there is a start and finish and people attack throughout and sprint for the win.

so, did you go?

yeah, big group there tonight, probably 30 or so at least.

if anyone was there, i was the one yakking on the side of the road at the end of the first races second lap. drinking until 4 in the morning and washing it down with cheeseburgers and fries for lunch apparently is not proper nutrition for a cyclist.

yeah gotta wear a helmet, gears are useful; there are some older and some less experienced people braking through corners, and thats hard on a fixie, especially brakeless.
