4/20/10 Ride Summary

RIDE SUMMARY:
Last night the temps were in the mid 60s. The wind was uncharacteristically still. And 29 "masters of the universe" showed up for the two most important hours of the week. We could have had 30 if Craig Webb hadn't cut out on us to check out a sale on panties. None the less, the meat grinder was in fine form last night. The group worked well together but not great. I think we only jettisoned one rider, sorry. The average speeds were close to 21.5 mph but the sprint speeds were stupid high last night. I don't own a speedometer but if I did it would have melted. Greg Christian gets the evenings testosterone prize by winning every sprint....jerk.
