I'll be honest. At this point

I'll be honest. At this point I may go to watch or ride behind the pack. I'm having an issue and lack the confidence that I could race without possibly hurting myself. I'm sure Billy would like to go. But he hasn't been riding much. I might just sit this one out. I don't need the party right now either. But it's ALWAYS good to get out and see friends. So, I'm undecided. IF I go, I could be persuaded to have an east sider or 2 swing through town for a car pool and I'd happily drive or not but make sure they get there with no confusion. And if that were to happen I could also be the DD back to Lansing area to give said driver a little time extra to sober up.

Having raced the orchard many many times. I can say without a shred of doubt that the colder it is, the better it is. Plus Nate's got a woodstove in the barn now. MUCH toastier~! :)
