What's this?

I too am only half the rider @`lag is. Did 36 miles this morning. Thanks

to Barry, had a slight northerly breeze this AM, which is unusual for this time of year. So I took a ride to the north so I'd have the tailwind on the way back. That way is a little flatter, so had 1312 feet of climbing. 1905 calories burned (or about 12 bottles of Firemans #4 blonde ale).

As I was getting up to speed on a slight downhill after a light, had some guy blow past me. But he had aerobars, so I figure that's cheatin'. And he found out those aerobars don't help you get up hills as I passed him on then next uphill. Never saw him after that. I should've yelled "Suck it, Aeroboy!" when I passed him :-)

Ben King was in the breakaway when I left, was hoping to see him win when I returned. But looks like he fell back on some of the hills.
