I realize it is a mountain bike picture but you really don't get much more suffering than I was in my before picture.

No joke, that kid is by far the skinniest racer around here. He's a good rider though - that was in my 3rd CAT-5 race, and I still hadn't gotten my sprint timing down at all. As you can see, I'm sitting down and on the hoods...about 50m from the line because I'd just popped :rolleyes:

I still pulled out 5th or 6th out of ~50.

Sprinting to the dentist?

Awsome pics guys. Even Botto's mock-ups.

They make me realize that I'm not the only fool out there in terrible pain.

I haven't had anyone photo me yet. But, I've only raced twice so in due time.

Just after winning a prime, later dropped off the back, only good for one sprint per race in my old age.

Oh yeah, that one's better. But I can tell you totally photoshopped it because there's no way anyone would stay ahead of the mighty R600 long enough to take a picture of it.

Is 600DA a real guy? Or is he just some character that people talk about but no one has actually seen him live? (kind of like that bad dude from the Harry Potter series. Voldermort or whatever his name is)

I'm sure I'll regret this but...This is a pic from Stage 2 at Ft Davis last year. I flatted on mile 1 and had to wait 3 minutes for a new front wheel. The stage is 16 miles, the first 15.5 miles are ave gradient of 6.5% the last .5 mile is at 17%. I chased the group and caught the tail-enders at the bottom of the first climb, and started to pic guys off. I finished 20th out 50 on this stage. This pic is half way up the 17% section.
