not last

actually i was 20th at the Live to Ride Road Race at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham. This was my first real road race-50 some guys on a curvy course. I just tried to stay out of trouble. I went out front once just to try and pick up the pace-but got caught. I made up a lot of spots on the hills but then the entire group would slow down and I would squeezed back again. I barely stayed out of a wreck, and it was rather nerve wracking to ride in a group that big-with people not holding lines. But I survived and finished with a slightly strung out main group-7 seconds behind the leader.

then i went on a ride with Scot and Athena and got killed-oh well-just digging around in the pain cave.

    Come on Mom, don’t you realize that I ride the bike and run like a crazy person so I can eat the peanut butter eggs( that must have crack in them)?
