Despite all the issues I've had with it (mostly the finish cracking and doing weird things) I'm absolutely in love with this bike, I don't want to race it because once it's gone it's gone but man it just feels right in a crit.

Racing a crit the day after a 6 hour HPV race and 3 weeks without training due to waiting on a replacement bike. Didn't warm up, pulled groin muscle and was feeling it in that photo. Couldn't hold the geriatrics wheel and he was only doing about 36km/h
PAIN!

Not a place I wanted to be. Up front. It lasted but for a minute and I was back in the pack watching the two man break get away. Sucked!

Banana Belt #1; 44 mile road race. Bad sprint, bad legs, tough course... Up at the top of that hill, I thought I had it; was in good position, fourth wheel. Stood up to sprint and... no go. Going for the prime halfway though and general sledgehammering of the legs from the rolling hills used up all the go-juice.

Everyone's pics are killing me, were're still doing indoor TT's here in Ohio. 
Here's a shot from Sunday 2/28. I went solo on the national 10k course, had a 15:04 at 369 watts. Then right away, bolted up the tandem so my daughter could have some fun too. We were inside our personal best by 10 sec. at 16:12 at 353 watts. I was in a boat load of pain and from the looks of this pic, one of us was working harder than the other.
