Roughin it at The Driveway

Today was the first driveway crit of the season. I had never actually been out there. Josh told me to meet him at gregory because we would be riding out with some guys. Apparently he read an email wrong but all is well when you have good sense of direction and a cell phone. On the way out there it seemed like he was guessing. It turns out he was making educated guesses that yielded proper results. When we registered I whipped out my can of spaghetti-o's and got $10 off the race fee. Pretty sweet! While we were warming up Josh crashed pretty bad(ask him how he crashed) but he managed to get up pretty much unscathed. Once the race started I found that my legs felt pretty good coming off a good rest but I couldn't find a proper line. The finish wasn't too exciting but I am happy that I got to open up my legs. Since the race was only 30 minutes I figured I would top the ride off with a good hard ride back to campus. On the way back the roads were wet which seemed strange since it wasn't raining. Anyways, when I turned off of 6th street (we ended up there by following some wooly mammoth guys back, sort of) on to trinity I slid out on the wet cobblestones. Now I know I shouldn't do this but based on the circumstances I am awarding myself 3 euro points. I'm kidding except it was pretty sweet. All in all decent ride, cold, but its fun to rough it sometimes.
