A running account of the "race without an entry fee"..... The Tuesday night ride

Tuesday the 21st

The ride has gone off in blizzards with better turnout....

Just a few brave souls out today. Chris Mahoney, Builder Pete, John "i dont race" Gregory, Dillon P, Hunter P, Guido, and a surprise visit from everyone's favorite coach, Aidan C with Ronny "Sprints" LaRose and Peter P in tow.

The ride was good till Ron flatted. Everyone waited and then the ride got good again with Aidan doing steady strong man tempo, Hunter P attacking, Ronny Sprints countering and Peter P chasing. Everyone turned at the industrial park in honor of Rondo. Then Ronny flatted again and then again in minutes and everyone went their separate ways, sad and solemn to think of what could have been.....

Rain sucks, but on the plus side Builder Pete's shorts were producing only a little special sauce this week.

If you are gonna ride in rain have decent tires. If you are serious about training you would not be at this ride in these conditions

That was a dumb last comment. He was on decent tires... flats happen! And why not train in that weather? Races happen in that weather. The Hartford Crit was just like that weather two months ago! Why not train for it? You want the first time you push it in the rain to be race day? You don't want to know how to corner in the rain?

Sign your name sissy pants!
