Wish me luck!

At 3pm I begin heading down to Rutgers for the first cycling weekend of the ECCC...it'll be my first (3) races, so I'm a bit nervous,

I'm sure you'll be updated if anything interesting happens.

Do I have to program a new garage module for you to track your race results? :P

Enjoy the race. I wish we had a team for the ECCC but my school seems to only do mountain bike style races, lots of downhill.

What type of a race? What is the distance?

Also, Have you had much time to get in shape. The winter in New Hampshire is not the best place to get any good training rides in.

edit: Good luck/have fun
