Check this out...the Slipstream team is racing in Spain, and they almost missed the start of today's race.

Yes I did once, at Coppa Festa del Vino in San Cassiano near Pordenone. We went for a quick warm-up ride and got lost. We came to the start place about 5 minutes before start. There was one good thing about it: we were well warmed-up!

LOL. That is why in my racing days I warmed up on a trainer...
