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. __________________ EcoModder's best: Donate to EM \| Window clings \| EM Shirts \| Better Gas Mileage \| MPG Tracking More fun sites: Green Home Improvement \| crxMPG \| Benjamin FT Jones \| Vegan Recipes \| Car-free Living

They merely made more urgent the necessity to solve existing ones.

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 Last edited by igo; 02-29-2008 at 07:03 PM..
