I'll be out there, probably earlier. Going to field test on my usual 3 mile track (southbound between the top of the state-road climb is the rough starting point) anyone who wants to draft for 2 miles and then try and break away is welcome
Malcolmson...might you consider riding with WDC and his 10am homies? I'm going to join in with his crew too. I need to not trash my legs tomorrow (Saturday) if I have any hope of keeping up with the Sunday suffer-fests.
Did not have time this AM to join the morning 9W group. I will be out at PP today doing a few hrs of Endurance pace riding starting around 1:30pm. Feel free to join.
@9am John and I ended up playing catchup to the prospect peloton and mineola guys on river road, me comfortable sitting in tucked behind him. We caught them at the top of the hill and then enjoyed the cushion of the large peloton (often a little sketch) until piermont. Took the scenic dirt path back to the main road on the way back. it was a nice date :) hope the legs are ready for tomorrow.
Fell ill again yester-day, alas! 'Twas the swooning fit that came upon me, and I was faint. I did not join the doughty company for a ride into the hills to-day; instead, I am baking cookies.
On the morrow I shall not join in yon hammerfest, as the dawn shall be nigh breaking ere I lay my head to rest this night.
Master William, have you brought hearty fellows into our ranks?
The 10am ride was good fun too. Led by William "Chief Recruiter" DC, joined by two potential new Kissena guys (both of whom seemed nice), Joe "Jack Tripper, I live with women roommates who ride my rollers" Mueller and Marc "where did all that fat come from?" Bertucco.
Easy-breezy pace up to Piermont and back. Stopped for a couple of leisurely mechanicals, muffins at the deli and rolled back on 9W.
Looking forward to seeing a big group of Kissena's tomorrow.
When did it become impossible to (a) get on our bikes without taking pictures or videos; and (b) type someone's name without giving them a clever nickname?
@ Ryan: did I mention I took video of my field tests... nevermind. Nobody wants to see a man in his 40's perform an on-bike impersonation of a monkey humping a tennis ball...
The best part of our half-superbowl ride was you two making fun of the Velocity dude blowing a track stand and riding in circles blocking traffic at a light. A mocking chorus of disappointed "Oooooohhhhhhhh"'s was the ego boost he needed. Oh and you saying "I have a Colnago, I CANNOT UNCLIP AT A LIGHT!" loud enough for him to hear. Nice bike though!
