out at 9 back by 10pm. good ride,fast and hard. couple of run-ups to keep the blood flowing to my feet. i re-discovered that frozen ground is hard. perhaps my emphasis on pavement(by default) will not be detrimental, longer grass is little slower but not appreciably so. looking forward to seeing a large turn-out at the wednesday night ride, maybe i'll even see the 'orange crusher'.
weather: 28 degrees, clear and windless
time: 60 minutes in the saddle, 35 minutes peak performance
