I'll do the thumbnail if this pic is too big. Eh, seems okay.
Trying to figure out how to get back into the race. About 10 guys up the road. Sitting second wheel.

Yeah, I was in my local shop and a guy had one he got from a rep but never used so I picked it up for $20. It was new with the tags but pretty scuffed up so I painted it with the bbq black to match the frame. I think I'm going back to my rocket till the selector comes in.

Right before Aerocat starting putting the hurt on. I was dropped about 10 laps later. Oh well, it was my first P/1/2 race.

in a break at a training race. there was some suffering, but i'm not sure if i was at the moment this was taken.
how could i, when i have a teammate providing as much shelter as an 18 wheeler? i don't even know why i bother getting low when he's in front of me.

First time I have ever seen myself on my TT bike. About to cross the finish line at Church Creek...

The Sidis are old 2 turn-buckles plus the big ratchet strap, nice pair of shoes. They replaced the G5s? of the same color which I have as back up.
Based on wheel gaps it looks like suffering is there.

Purgatory Road Race, Cat 4. Definitely suffering for 7th here. (I'm the big guy in the white and black jersey/black bibs with the neon glasses)

Going for a $50 prime. (this happens to be the backside of the course).
This was about the moment I realized they weren't coming around me, even after 5 secs of "rest", and I had it in the bag - guy behind me later said when I hit the gas and shifted up out of corner 3 he pretty much gave up... love it!!

And this is what complete surrender looks like. About 5 seconds from the line at the Mike Horgan Hillclimb in Boulder, CO. The next guy back isn't moving up, and the guy in front of me just hammered over the line.
photo from 303photo. The forum link was offered on their smugmug page, so I have to assume they consent to me putting it on the forum.

affirmative, and thanks. It's a tad unfortunate that the bike in that pic is a specialized allez. I wasn't going for product endorsement when I got the tattoos.

North Boulder Park Crit. At ten laps to go I thought it would be a good idea to do a 400m bridge, than 100m sprint for the prime (won it though). Silly me dropped off the back. Caught up with another rider and suffered out the last 7 laps. My goal at that point was to get some hard riding in my legs and not get lapped - Worked.
I'm the one pulling btw
