Harlem Skyscraper Cycling Classic 2009 · Jun 23, 11:04 PM

Due to illness, we only fielded a team of 2 instead of the originally planned 4 at the Harlem Skyscraper Cycling Classic; but Peter and Landen held their own and raced well in an aggressive flat 4 corner, covering the 40mile race at an avg of 30mph! I live-tweeted the race:
