Battling The Elements

So normally I have class on Tuesdays and don't get to ride at all. Since I am on spring break this week I went out and did the infamous "Double" (two race rides equaling 4 hours of fast past stankyness).

PMTG called me up and changed the game plan a bit... now it was starting the first race ride then going off and doing some hills with some other fast folks and then coming back into town on the second race ride.

As I was driving to d-town I was getting tossed around, in my lil wabbit, a ton! The wind was relentless during our whole ride. On our way out to the first sprint the wind tossed a couple guys around, who were overlapping wheels in front of me, and a few of us went down. Nothing major happened to anyone, thank goodness.

After the first sprint we were checking the ominous clouds over cantelow and figured they would blow away. On the slopes of cantelow the Viper was injecting everyone with his venom and it was painfully delicious. Once we reached the top there were some harsh words thrown about and it seemed slightly childish, but the approaching rain seemed to simmer things down a bit.

We all got a bit wet, but rode super hard and outran the cloud of death with a sweet tailwind for most of the way home. We decided the second race ride would be a sketchfest and did a little longer loop on the way home to get some more miles in.

Solid ride, good company. Harsh, harsh day today but it makes us stronger in the end.
