I'm glad he doesn't do crits. I had to witness the carnage in road races last year as a 4. He's part of the reason I won't even do them as a 3. Why even bother
The only difference is that there will be more guys dropping me on the climbs.
I credit Wes for helping me realize that my territory stretches no farther than business parks and downtown courses when it comes to racing.

Well at least I know who to watch, sadly though, I'll probably be watching them ride up the road.
I'm in, rain, snow or shine.
Someone faster than Wes in a road race? Crikey, that's going to be a miserable day for a lot of folks who try to hang on. That would be an interesting battle to see, two mountain bikers destroying a roadie field. From what I remember, it was one of umd's teammates(Seth?) who beat him at Punchbowl last year. That was pretty surprising.
