3) Every Cat 5 should check out how he pedals through the corners
4) I like the paint job but that new Giro aero helmet is going to get hot in Texas.
5) He apparently races more frequently than Jandro
6) Flip it.
Ouch. Sorry I didn't catch you at Sea Otter. The circuit race was super fun (lots of strong riders); racing with what I now know to be a cracked rib, slightly less fun. :/

How'd ya do? No race report, yet.

Team went 1-2 in the crit and circuit, and we won the RR. I rode 320w for the crit covering things and annoying people. Pretty much same thing in the circuit race.

Good job. Racing as a team is an amazing thing.

BTW I generate 0w annoying people all day long in life...

Well done. My clubmate said the the RR course was pretty grueling, lots of rollers and a couple steepish climbs. Everyone I talked to, across multiple categories, said the competition was pretty stiff.

Really hoping I'm healed up for Cat's Hill crit, Berkley Hills RR and Pescadero RR, you making it out here for any of them?

Actually as they are produced by naturally occuring methane gas they don't require any energy to produce...
Kinda like a geyser's hot water, internally heated and explosive...


How's that for a visual????

Cat's Hill is a maybe. I've won there and the course suits me. Long round trip though.

you guys are gonna banish me to the 41, but...can anyone recommend a good, durable saddle bag? i'm serious. i've gone through two in two years. seat tube strap just pulled off the Giant bag i had, and on the specialized one before that, the velcro came unstitched really quickly.

also...people actually use crisco?

I love my Yanco/Tracko Ramblin' Roll. It straps down super tight, fits perfectly under your saddle, and stays put. Hold a ton of stuff, as well. They sell out fast, though. You can try calling Kyle at Golden Saddle Cyclery in LA. He may have some at the shop he'd be willing to ship.

p.s. I have the waxed canvas one.
