Just Signed Up...

For a couple good events.

Church Creek TT is supposed to be a good time trial, if there is such a thing. We'll find out Saturday.

The Hagerstown Crit is an awesome course - it has a long slightly false flat uphill straight, a 90 degree left turn, a squiggly little uphill, a 120 degree off-camber left, a long downhill false flat with a dip in it, and a 180 degree looooong slightly uphill off-ramp style sweeper. I count two technical turns, one 35 MPH sweeper, a wide, long sprint friendly straight, and not a terrible amount of hills. It's July 7, the course alone is worth the trip. I'll hit the 4/5 Over 30, a great event every time I've done it, and maybe also the Cat IV, although it's much later in mid-afternoon, if the field looks interesting. Like I said, it's worth going for the course, and the beautiful neighborhood setting alone.

Jim -

Lars here from Crofton (FBS Sat rides) wondering if you want to share a ride out the Eastern Shore on Saturday. If so, give Jonathan a call at the shop for my home number and we'll hook up. If not, I'll see you in the low country. I'm racing the 30+ group.

Hey, that would be cool. I'll need to see what our start times are. They should be emailing those out sometime this evening. If we're starting anywhere near reasonable times (reasonably close together) it might work. Of course if you're rolling at 8:00 and I'm going off at 12:00 it wouldn't work at all - it's not like a crit where there are five races running and you can sit around and it's interesting. "Here comes Lars... hmmm... he's sweaty. Now here comes Jim... hmmmm... he's sweating too, and a little slower..."
