Victory Ride -- 9/14/2004

This was the first time this year we had to cut the ride short due to loss of daylight. I seem to be fighting a bit of a cold and couldn't believe how much it hurt me in hanging with the lead group tonight. My hypochondric self started to think that perhaps I was getting lead poisoning from my home improvement project. I never lost contact but was the last over the hill at Lieds tonight. We'll see how things go next week. And, oh yeah, got to re-meet Fergie, a great rider and great guy from back in the early '90's when I was racing MTBs.
