Downers Grove Bicycle Ride & Is road season really over?

1st off ... I really missed riding with this group all summer on Wed nights. I rode with them on Wednesday night. We had about an hour of ride time from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. before it got dark. I knew it was going to be a fast ride and it was. It was a small group. This guy "Doug" excellent rider, set the pace for the whole group. We picked up an Apache rider along the way and had some fun pace lining. It was great to see Ben, Craig, and Doug, and everyone else.

2ndly... Is road season really over? o.k. so maybe I should have taken up cyclocross. I registered for fall fling.
.........Maybe this will help ease my frustration.........????? Yap it did!!!
I race this morning in West Chicago. 30 min criterium, women's cat4. Fun and very flat easy course. About 10 women lined up. Some newbies. Good to see. I stayed low key and hung out with the field...made some short efforts. Good to see all the regulars again and some of the triple X racers. Good to race with you all again.. My knee is better. Road race coming up on Sunday.

Madeleine if your reading this ... I forgot to tell ya. I registered for the entire fall fling stage race. I promise - after next weekend. I will take complete time off the bike. Promise!
