Red bricks + Gassy Jack + Hella Carbon + July Rain = VERYNICE
This morning, as I executed a perfect drift left around a roundabout, I wondered what kind of tires those racers were running. Do they have multiple sets of ZIPPs ready to go with different tires. Would they use something as bourgeios and 'slow' as a Micheline speedium?
Some guys were cornering on their outside pedal, while others were in the saddle, kneeing in. Two very different techniques. This interested me somewhat. Is the center tread any better in the rain? Are they afraid to tilt the bike? Wouldn't sitting over those bumps make things LESS stable?
..and another thing thats on my mind. Is it wrong that the sight of a dirty, wet, female racer in ripped lycra, limping back to the staging area turns me on?
I don't think that race would have been nearly as fun if it were hot and sunny.

It was even more fun racing it in the rain. Crashing is somehow more fun when you are wet and dirty!
Oh shit! I thought you didn't crash! Way to get up and keep with the pack, then =D
