Palos, 6:30am.

Al took this photo of the group ride he was on this morning. I wasn't on it, since I was riding solo, all slow and pokey, the way I'm used to. I cleared out all the cobwebs for those fast guys, though, so it all worked out. There's still a cobweb stuck on my glasses and it looks cool if you notice it. I was the only one who had to work today, and poor Ben had to leave early to get me to the office.

I think Ben felt bad after reading my sad, sad post yesterday and decided to make it possible for me to ride trail today. I am working 12 days in a row, 12 mornings I have to wake up, so I guess this was the only way to do it. The trails were dry and fast, and aside from 2/3 of the ravines, I rode it all. Woot. Zoom. The creaking in my headtube is getting worse, though. Time to pull and re-press the headset and hope that works.

Hope you all have a great weekend. I'll be standing in the 90 degree sun at crits both days. Say hi.
