Patrick put together an 8am ride in Columbia this morning. Mother Nature did her part and cleared the rain out of town overnight and left us with a good day of riding ahead. AJ, Jeff, Joe and Mark also showed up for a good day of riding. We had a little everything. Damp roads to start the day, the small hills of the bluffs down to Maeystown with the Fults loop added on, some words spoken in anger/frustration, bright sunny skies and good head and crosswinds on the way back and a good hard effort to finish things off.

Weight: 150.7
Ride time: 3:45

It's good to see Erwin Vervecken win the CX Worlds again. The guy is not a prolific winner but he's steady and always strong at the end of the season. He seems like a down to earth guy and has responded to emails from a friend of mine. Nice move by a pro in my book.
