Re: Nrlb riders! Call me. Re: Friday RRR anyone?

I think Lucas got a coupla shots of the Roubaix section, which sported a good 4" of viscous, therapeutic mud.  I got one of Ryan "Peninsula Connoisseur" Gibson executing a flawless transit of the deep bog, as well as an unnamed rider's muddy leg for illustrative purposes (interested Ladies may inquire directly for contact info).

Ride report:

Lorenzo "winter is the new summer" Colitti, Eric, Joe, Daniel, Sandor, Ario, Sarah, and yours truly set off from a forebodingly dark and misty Ritual about 6:45 and sliced thru the night with only our steely resolve for a cutlass.  A foggy curtain of dread then draped itself upon us south of the sleepy city, and though the vapors clouded our vision, we still rode with power.

Winter's icy grip loosened slightly as northbound allies PC and Lucas intercepted us in san mateo, though our combined lights could not vanquish the seething fogs and cats of foster city. The elements made one last attempt to defeat us in the muddy swamps of Roubaix, with most riders opting against tempting fate in the mudbog. 

9:32 arrival and all food devoured.

Great ride, NRLB folks! Does anyone have pictures? I wish we'd taken one just after going through the mud.
