I think you've gotten pretty universal disagreement. I questioned your credentials because most of what you've posted comes across as either trolling or a guy who doesn't really know what he's talking about. You offered that you had a low number in another thread as some sort of point that you knew har you're talking about. But being that you don't actuslly race that's kinda moot. Your advice so far seems to come down to be as sketchy as possible, which most guys who race a lot find a bit offensive. There are plenty of ways to get off the front in a crit, and lots of different times to do it. A break of 13 lapped the field at the us pro crit. Some pro road races finish in sprints.

It's difficult at best to parse sarcasm out of what you write (and I get paid to read things).

Less "(essentially)", more "I posted" isn't a bad call either.

But he uses obscure training pictures as his avatar to show that he knows what he's doing. And his kid is the best thing sense sliced bread. And he had sex before you did with a low number or something like that.

My avatar pictures should not be obscure to a competitive cyclist.

Mine shouldn't be obscure to anybody who had a UHF converter in San Francisco in 1971 and watched channel 44 at 4:00 PM.

Speed's older brother - duh! Obscure would be having the number 9 on your yellow bike.
Right after Marine boy. Right before Kimba.
Then we moved to Africa.

What was his sister's name?

the only thing smooth about crit racers are their paunches and backfat.

Trixie. And yeah, it was euphemistic.

I had number 9 on my GP bike for a season.

Just remember when you see it on the pro-tour where they copied it from...
Just incase you run into another nerd, you meant to write convex.

Yes I did and I'm a Domer, or my other *** is. I don't want to upset anyone by using the K word.

I see what your doing. I never saw RacerX unmasked. We left the country before then. That brings a sense of fulfillment.

I think this kid is the best thing since sliced bread (or Lance). He does not do so well at crit races. Not that it matters, but it is a data point.
