Back from from a vacation in Florida where the temps were in the 70's and 80's. Wow, does Wisconsin Suck! Andy Reiland and I along with our families went to St Pete. He and I were able to get in several rides as well as a couple of group rides. The group rides there are insane. Since it is a urban area there are lots of lights and stop signs. All of which are completely ignored and used to make breakaways. Still it was a blast. The speeds were very fast. On the "training" ride we must have averaged around 28mph. At times were cruising at around 31. There were several local pros (cubans) They hammered it pretty well. I was able to hang with them for the most part, but overall I was not in the fitness for a ride like that. I tried to sprint at the end but I had a 53/12 and not near enough gear for such a flat place. Still I made Wisconsin proud and my presence known. Andy too was hammering it well.

wow, some super secret training while we were getting dumped on here, lucky you. Hope you enjoyed your time down there, only like 95 days till our first race.

betcha would've been faster on a different bike.
I'm hoping that due to the lack of posting you've been on your bike for 30 days straight and not had access to the PC. Anything else is inexcusable.
