Anyone in Modesto this weekend?
|
I thought about it. I have had good results there (and the ugly VeloPromo t-shirt to prove it). But it's a busy family weekend and I would be stretching spousal tolerance to be away for a bike race 3 weekends in a row.
If you go, mind the Botts Dots. |

I like that crit course - and we have a real pro signed up for the p/1/2/3's so that should be fun. Mtn Quebeka(?) guy, looks like more of a climber/tt guy so we'll see how it goes. My battle plan is to be in the break that laps the field like last year. |
I'm out. 6 races the past 2 weekends, working this weekend, and still recovering from being ill. I thought I was 100% better, but here at work today they want me to sit upright. I hadn't counted on this being so hard.

And luckily there are about a million races left in the season. |

So I've heard. I've become more comfortable with them, but worry being around others that are less comfortable around them and either try to dodge them last minute or roll over them poorly. Oh well...went ahead and signed up for both days.

Yup! Crit for sure, on the fence for the RR.

In the RR, all you really need to mind is the wind. Ugh, that wind.. if it's anything like last year, there was one crosswind section that really sucked - especially after our small field shattered and I found myself on the wrong end of it.
|
I was thinking of skipping the crit because it's a bit of driving. May do the road race though.

Do the crit...we'll get a BikeForums break rolling. 20 minutes left on the clock, you, Umney, and I take off ;)
This will be my last race until mid June, and even then with three weeks off the bike... Fun fact. The last time I did that race 5+ years ago I ended up with a fractured wrist. It pays dividends to stay near the front. |

Looks like I won't be doing either race. I got knocked over in the sprint today at a practice crit and there's some bike damage and a good bit of skin left on the road.

Wtf happened?? Oh, and I could hear/feel my helmet scraping along the pavement. Good thing it was there! |

maybe building up his confidence by chewing up a bunch of amateurs.

Nothing against Modesto...but wonder what he's doing there? Seems a bit out of the way for a UCI South African team member.
My guess is he won't win, or really try to win.. he will probably try to go off the front, but I don't think he'll just ride away from us. He's just doing it for training I bet. |

Any of you old enough to remember the Cat 4 Challenge that was held in Livermore?
|
Signing up for 45,35, and 1/2 @Folsom. Figure by time the 1/2 rolls around I'll be motor pacing.
|
That reminds me. I need to sign my son up for the juniors race. He can only race once, but I have the choice of 5. I guess I could do the back to back to back to back to back. How many TSS would that be?
