Saturday's Ride

I guess not everyone was close enough to hear the 'discussion' at the front of the pack last Saturday. I think it's safe to say that we weren't making friends up there. The Salsarita guy didn't think we were going fast enough down hill and too fast up hill. Maybe we were guilty of such acts, maybe not. Either way, I spent the time to put together a route, write up cue sheets and Brian and I pulled the whole group for all 50 miles. It pissed me off a little (maybe a lot) that he felt the need to bitch.

On another note, Brian and I have been talking about time trials this year. Brian found a couple of options nearby. The Lowes Motor Speedway hosts a series and there's another in Durham at the Orange County Speedway. Anyone interested in trying this out? I think I'd like to try the Durham event, at least as my first race. There's something intimidating about riding around that huge track in Charlotte 7 times.

The orange county TT you have to go around the track 25 times.....I don't think I can count that high.

I know you can't.

which way's left????

I just want to say I was happy you guys pulled the whole way. I was worried that at any momment you would call on me to pull. I just hope Brian has learned his left from his right. An oval time trial track would not be the place to learn.

It would be all left turns if I did do the TT. If I do to many of them I might just only know how to turn left. I wonder if there is a coach I can get to help me with this issue.

just out of curiosity. would you guys be signing up for the series or single races.and as for brian not knowing his left from his right maybe he should just put a big L & R on the appropriate hands. just trying to help. that would be a lot less expensive than getting a trainer to help him.

I think I just need a support group. I have a lot of issues.
