first road race

last weekend, i went down to harrisburg with eban and holly to ride in the cherry pie. they had a fixed gear class so i figured what the fuck. it was my first road race and i learned quite a bit. the first was not to make changes you your bike the night before. i'd swapped to a smaller cog and wasn't really comfortable pushing that big a gear. i kept up with the pack for about half of it but it was a pretty small pack so when i got dropped there wasn't anyone to draft off so i ended up riding the rest by myself. i passed the women b's and then did my best to stay in front of them. i thought i'd done pretty badly but it turns out i beat out seven other riders.

this weekend i'm going to hit up the jack frost time trial. should be a good time.

Double Way to go! You're a mid-ranking fixed-gear road racer dude!
