Now I don't call this a "death march" because it was hard, but because we were dropping like flies with mechanical issues. What I'm referring to is our official team ride on Sunday morning! The weather was a balmy 50 deg. and the rain held off, although the roads were wet from all the fog and condensation. We had about 10 riders show up at Rapid Transit which we will be using as our departure point, and frankly we should have just stayed there with all the flats we had! All in all I believe we had 5 flats and a broken seat collar. Needless to say our pace wasn't the best, 16 miles in around 2 hours is pretty pathetic. We all ended up breaking up and heading home separately with me riding with Zach, Mike and Naz . We were able to keep the pace up nicely along Green Bay Rd. All in all the ride back was great although I got seriously dropped towards the end. My gear is sitting in a garbage bag waiting to be washed since I looked like a victim of Paris-Roubaix when I got home.
On another note I just picked up two of the best albums I've bought in a while, both by The Aggrolites (S/T and Reggae Hit LA). I've had friends tell me to check them out but I've been putting it off, and now I play these albums non-stop! They are so well put together and executed that they just don't get old. Check out the video for "Free Time" from Reggae Hit LA below.
BTW, thanks to Naz for the pics!
