Rode with Ben and Sean to Calumet Park yesterday to scope things out for the upcoming Gapers Block crit series. Three hours, 48 miles. It was slow going at times - the path was iced over much of the way south of McCormick and 23C tires don't grip all that well. I didn't stack it, although Sean did in the sand by 57th. The way back was much better - the sun melted a path through the ice and I was able to drag race Ben at a few spots.

Somehow I managed to ride 9 hours this week. Now I'm tired and I have this huge urge to drink lots of orange juice.

Orange juice.
