no name XXXIX

i was going to do this other alleycat that the jimmy john's kids throw but my man altan told me the wrong damn day, so i took the wrong day off. boo.
so i went and rode out to the end of the minnetonka lrt trail instead, 63 miles of mostly crushed limestone on top of 50 miles of crushed limestone to hit the end of the southwest lrt trail the day before. oof.
so then i have this ingenious idea that i'm gonna go and do the no name since i'll be stuck at work during the jimmy john's thing.
took 5th, did this to do it, won a fancy-schmancy spoke card. ended up at anitra's shindig at grumpy's ne. cool party, great cause, saw some folks i haven't seen in a while and generally had a rockin' time.
some thoughts on the evening at large...
-i need to fix my venerable hudson map co map of mipples/stp as it's no good to me falling apart
-those complimentary transit maps are worse than useless unless you already know where everything is
-35mm knobby cyclocross tires will slow you down over 22 miles of pavement
-nothing beats a $2 tall boy of pbr after a bike race, except for 4 of 'em
