Nice job Lina!
Lorenzo, Julian, Derrick, and I managed a moderately-paced break away.
Nowhere near the record, but we put up a ~19mph rolling average which
got me to Crittenden well in time for breakfast.
Also, this time I didn't crash, which made me happy.

Lorenzo, Julian, Derrick, and I managed a moderately-paced break away.
Nowhere near the record, but we put up a ~19mph rolling average which
got me to Crittenden well in time for breakfast.
