What are you arghing about? You look great in that photo. It cracks me up that you are always smiling and looking as if you are having just the time of your life while out suffering on climbs.

EDIT: Sigh...why'd you remove it?

I removed it because the picture wasn't showing, just the link. I am argh'ing because I was in pain and what I am contemplating at this point is how do I get back to the start. Just not my finest moment.

Has anyone ever seen him grumpy? I think a name change is in order.

OH, I've already tried that with him. He isn't the least bit Grumpy. He's the nicest man. Sorry, Frank, I'm blowing your cover. :p

Thank you, Barbara! Your photos are very much appreciated. It was extremely generous of you to donate your time and skills to all 3 KOM events.

Vance, how come I dont see you on any rides?

All you do is pose for these porn sites showing your chest or what?

I'm so going to call you that from now on. :p

You can be my apprentice...its tough but I think with enough dedication and practice you could pull it off.

I'll try and overlook your insolence---which is hard---but doable.

Do I have to tear holes in all my shorts?

I'm sure M.E. or I can do that!

Oh wait, you're married. Your shorts are too blurry. We cannot help.

Nice photo of SirLance and Entropy (which I hope they don't mind me posting).

you do, and ontop of that you have to let me draft you the whole way on all the rides. It's the only way you're going to get stronger.

Now I suggest you start riding and practicing, I can't have my apprentice be a slacker

I'm sure M.E. or I can do that!

Oh wait, you're married. Your shorts are too blurry. We cannot help.
Vance is married? Whos the poor girl that got convinced into such a vile act.

You are en evil temptress... who delights in putting such thoughts in our poor married heads!

Well, I was her boss at the time... so I guess that might have had something to do with it. :p

Nah, according to Spingineer, I'm just spunky.

Hey, I saw Secretary :eek:

ok, compromise ... a spunky temptress

I love Maggie. And although I'm not much of a Spader fan, I thought they both did an excellent job in that one.

Spader was so hot in that movie and I have never found him sexy before....or since.

Vastly underrated movie!

Hey Vance,
I bet you could take much better photos of us with your eye for photography. It would be awsome if you could be out there shooting us, but we would miss you out on the road. Maybe if you decide not to do an event you can bring you equipment out and take some shots.

Thanks Jon. I don't know about better, but I am definitely planning to shoot you guys at some point. As much as I love sports photography, shooting bikes is only fun/rewarding when you know the people... so now that I know a bunch of you, I'm anxious to get out there -- just have to find an event that a) is scenic, and b) I'm not riding. I'm open to suggestions!

Well the Grand Tour is in your backyard. I will be riding it for the first time this year. Are you going to ride it? Or shoot it?

I was just talked into doing the highland double portion. Is that the one you are doing?

Mario, who did the double:

Yes I'm doing the highland of coarse I like the scenery on the hills better than the urban flats. Hopefully I will see you there I will be riding with my friend Jim who is up there doing the Eastern Sierra double with you.
