Your fastest rider was incredibly consistent lap to lap. We pulled only one more lap than youse guys to take second. First place was so far out there it wasn't even a consideration. That course was brutal. Worst thing was, I never really got to sit down afterwards and pound some beers...and Breckinridge was there handing out cold 471 IPAs for FREE! Again, nice work.

Great job. I'd say something snide about how the fixed gear team beat you, but since I know those guys are pretty fast, I'll just shut up. I took a nap and went and looked at vintage bikes.
