I'm sorry to be missing it now, but I do think my time is better spent at ToNB at this point. There will be some good race reports coming out of Copperas though... can't wait.

The roads are in very good shape, the one section that has the pot holes has had most of them filled. There are still some left but it's managable.

Training race!? Ha! This race sets the tone for your entire season. It let's the other tx racers know you are Belgium hard man. Skip this race and all will know 'you are wussie'.

gawd, I'm out of shape, but there is a sprinking of a chance of a Ravenmore showing up, even if I have to work for our podium rat.

Dude, you gotta do it; it's Copperas Cove; 'nuff said

Thanks for the kind words, but, you were the strong rider, nearly pulling the pack the entire time until the pitstop at the convenience store!!

I registered last week, thanks to some online counseling from WR. I'm in baby.

You have a couple of hours to register online and save yourself $10 in registration fees (which could go toward a post-race meal #3 combo at P. Terry's and Amy's for dessert)... hurry Ravenmore hurry

I'm gonna get my butt handed to me, but it seems like as good a race as any to get my first cat 5 race in. Just look for the slow guy in the UT kit...

You'll be fine. Just draft tight, and follow the advice in botto's sticky thread at the top of this forum.

Nice work on the repeats today

If you see an old guy on a Ridley in a Joe's kit warming up for the 1/2, come say howdy.

As Chazz Michael Michaels said in Blades of Glory, welcome to the pack.
