Deciding where to ride today and it started raining. Guess I'll wait a while because I'm not going out in 43 degrees while it's raining.

Zoom is Old And Busted. Teams is The New Hotness.
EDIT: My siblings and I use Zoom, but it should be pointed out that the YOUNGEST of us was born before manned spaceflight.

How long can you ride aero hoods on it before some muscle group or other body part tells you to stop?

Not sure. Rode it for the first time this morning, and about 4 miles in I realized my left hood was at a weird angle. Turns out it was loose. I must have death gripped it in the race yesterday that I caused it to loosen. So once I realized that, I stayed off the hoods for the rest of todays ride, I was worried about it slidding down wards and ruining the tape.
It didn’t feel bad at all in the drops or while I was aero on the hoods.

Usually Trainsnorter awaits my race report.
Today was blah. I didn’t crash, nor did I win. The wind was crazy, and the riders were super strong. I couldn’t seem to get in the zone.
Cat 3/4 was first. Field was lapped within the first 5 laps. Race was over. Group of 6 broke away and no one chased them.
Next up, masters 35/45. Group broke away in the first 5 laps. Race was over.
I felt better in the masters than I did the 3/4. The 3/4 had way too much surging, and a couple of squirly guys must have liked the way I smelled or something. No matter what I did these two were always around me, waiting to take me out.
I was supposed to do 4/5 but the woman’s masters had a really bad accident at the finish. Took out one of our team mates, the other female was unresponsive. I did not see what led up to the crash but I did watch it happen. Literally at the finish line the other team woman went over her bars and landed head first. It was pretty scary. Ambulances had to come which pushed the race schedule. Honeslty I was too tired to do another race. So 4/5 went after I went home and that one had multiple crashes and a team mate broke a collar bone. Glad I didn’t stay.
Raced the El Diablo. Means killer chicken. no skipping or chain brakeage. So all good there.
Put the new stem on tonight, excited to try it out tomorrow.

Mind you, I only have experience setting up/marshalling/tearing down ONE race - the now-defunct Burlingame Criterium. Used to be the Big Event of each year for PenVelo.

Does that quicken the pulse, make you wish you were among them? It does for me.
