My wife only wants to race when she watches the womens race and sees a 'cute outfit' one of them are wearing.

I think that @rideaz may be one of those extremely rare racers who has actually won more races than she hasn't.

Even my sperms are competitive and respect the everyone-can-be-a-winner attitude of NorCal podiums.
I'm a level 1 parenting coach!
It works too well, apparently.

I weighed myself last night. 185! I blame it on stress. I haven't been this chubby in 5 years.
My stressors include that I am changing race teams for next year. (sorry @mattm) and that my wife is pregnant with twins, due in like April. Neither of the the former are very important, I guess.
*I very much look forward to arguing about parenting advice. I will self-coach that too!

I started at 60 and usually get crushed like an empty beer can in a redneck bar. When you have no talent and line up with 41-year-old Cat 1s as well as Cat 2s who've been racing since Nixon was President, it happens. It's still fun, though, and it's unlikely that I'll run out of challenges any time soon!

Congrats @Ygduf on the twins and the new team. BTW, you looked totally cool on the front of the A ride going back on 84 on Sunday. Everyone behind you was on the rivet. It would have been a great pic.

Seriously, congrats.
I'd go with Even and Evan as names. Evan Evans has People magazine potential. Even Evans is an endless riff...

Oh yeah, definitely too old. I started at age 44 and I'm just pathetic. I think @Racer Ex was even older when he started and I don't think he has more than about a dozen state champ jerseys.
I did my first USAC race at 45. Lined up between Bubba Melcher and Larry Nolan. Both those guys thighs were bigger than my waist.
Never too old to start.

telling my boss about grad school/asking for a letter of rec today. not sure why, but I'm kind of nervous about it.
edit: well that went well. 1/3 letters of rec down. time to contact some professors i haven't talked to in a while...why did no one tell me how important staying in touch with profs after you graduate is?

Doesn't even deserve the Race Results thread...
So I won the Masters 35-39 AZ HC TT this year. This TT was my first race ever a few years ago and I really have been wanting to win ever since. Well, I won but only one other guy was in my field this year, for what ever reason. The numbers at all races this year seem low. Maybe the wind and cold drove others away. So would you were the polka dots?

What is the best section to post a used bike I found today for opinions?
