Thanks for that, we're now all on the amber alert. Cat 5 mod and his beard are going to be the first to get picked up

Collegiate racing gives upgrade points for well-timed stunt riding, obviously. He got the B to A bump based on this sweet front flip.

I think he's still in the experimental stage



OK I'm done

Not only with his beard...
And no you're not, you're just getting started...

Inaccurate. I shave my legs.

the VT guy with green helmet and pink bike accents look familiar. If that's whom i think it is, this better be the A field, otherwise the VT guy oughtta upgrade. I was in the winning break with him 4 weeks back and he was incredibly strong.

btw, are you guys going to Penn State or your own conference finals?

I wouldn't say I look like I'm "suffering" but I promise you I was.

This was the B field, there is an incredibly strong VT rider in the A field but AFAIK the App State guys won the A RR and crit. This past weekend was actually the ACCC conference championships at Duke, so our season is over and our team doesn't have anyone going to nationals because our only A rider is focusing on racing with Celerity and only did a couple ACCC weekends.

What did you think of the courses?

I did not race on Sunday but my wife did. It was the largest women's field I have ever seen, granted it was a combined collegiate b/c and cat 4, but it was still huge.

Dan333SP

I liked the Saturday RR course, it only had a couple pitches that caused big yo yos in the field and the race ended on the climb in the picture of mu teammate crashing, which was maybe 8% for a bit and let me get past a few of the weaker riders at the line. I was in the C field, FWIW, so we did 3 laps of the course. The TTT went out and back on the same route for 8.6 miles, I had no C teammates so I pulled the two D riders the entire way but still ended up 4th, our B guys crushed it and won, they'd have placed 3rd in A.

The crit on Sunday was a simple 2 city block rectangle, it wasn't too exciting but we did have a strong wind which hurt me when I got separated midway through. The pace car was a Ferrari, which apparently a lot of people found to be exciting. I saw the women's P1/2/3 field racing with the As, I was wondering whether the A girls beat the pro/1 ladies...

Ferraris are more exciting than collegiate racing.

Dan333SP

A Scion racing a Saturn wagon is more exciting than any level of amateur USAC event, so there's that.

I passed a kid in a Duquesne Cycling jersey on my way back from lunch today. Is there a race in the area this weekend?

jsutkeepspining

my dad went to duquesne, and i used to live near there, but now im up in ohio, so i have no clue if there's a race in the area.

What I get for leading everyone out by jumping early.. 1 point and 5th place. Dammit.

Had I adjusted my derailleur pre-race I coulda found that 12-tooth and maybe held them off.

The old fart got schooled by some kids.

That looks like Santa Rosa. I think I won there.

mattm

Livermore - but you've probably won there too.

Third guy back is a bit sketchy. Watch for him. He has a habit of swerving clear across the field. Almost caused a few accidents in earlier seasons crits.

ridethecliche

I see a guy on the left that's looking back...
Not sure if he wants to hit the deck too or what, but wow.

Jandro 

Does track count? Finishing up my lap on the team sprint. We got 2nd.
