This is right when the break happened. I had to race, as the only woman, with the Cat 2/3/4 Masters men (because of an organizational mess). I was initially going to stay with them, but was really really worried about blowing up and then not finishing, so I sat up almost immediately after this picture was taken (partly because the other two in the race weren't bridging with me). The entire race was a sufferfest for me, since I was riding over threshold almost the entire time. I got 5th (of 6).

I think this is the best photo I've seen from Battenkill. Neither of these guys is me, but I think one of them is suffering, or at least his ego is.

wonder what usa cycling's stance is on gender reassignment surgery. could someone become a lady but still have manly features but race as a woman and dominate?
just wondering. don't get all sensitive people it's a brave new world and it's gonna be ok.

after this corner, going into 3 laps to go, I knew my race was pretty much done.

someone ask what picture Mikey is referring to. I want to believe it's mine, but I fear it's the one above.

It's easier to pick good lines when you are on the front, but that doesn't takeaway anything from that excellent shot.

After four Battenkills, I have finally managed to complete one entirely unphotographed. There are a thousand photos of groups I am in but I'm just a bit of helmet or an elbow.

there was a corner turning from a headwind into a crosswind. I felt pretty good as I was able to consistently turn it tighter than the pack line, coming out on the wind protected side and gaining 3-4-5 bikes for free each time. Anyway, that's unrelated to that one picture, but it's why I liked that particular one.

i saw it, too!
having fun on meeting house...day 1: BASEtwelvePHOTO | TOB Day 1 - Men | Photo 63
day 2, same location: BASEtwelvePHOTO | TOB Day 2 | Photo 59
was kind of just chillering on day 2 but still able to go over the top early. meeting house is a fun descent, esp when you can pick your line. i hit 43mph on it. (hit 52mph off of joe beane.)
