"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - Race pics you wish never got posted online...

So KP's unforunate race photo in the "suffering" thread reminded me of a pic of me that made me cringe...

The camera angle, wind-filled unzipped jersey, and the fact that I ain't the skinniest kid in the class conspired to create this decidedly unflattering image. :o Also note the Cat 5 tattoo on the right calf. ;)

And looking through another album from the weekend, this photo made me want to find out who this was to make sure he's still alive:

doesn't matter what pic it is, KP always looks like a dork in that kit. good thing he's fast. :D

the dude in green has one f'd up beard.

not only does it look like he dyes it, i'm pretty sure he shaves the top part of the 'stache.wtf is up with that?

and the upper cheeks too.

At 155-160 I'm not exactly a cream puff but next to this guy I look like the fat kid.

Like I said in the other thread, the kit kinda grew on me....like a fungus.

edit: also, it doesn't help that performance sunglasses are ugly as hell :D

Correct

Here's another one. On the plus side, my leg looks pretty jacked. On the minus side, so does my face.

Trying to crush some souls back when I was a young'n. I wish I had some pictures of me at Northbrook on Saturday, because I was a mess. A 13 lap breakaway that ended on the last turn of the last lap. I'd never felt that run down in my life. You see all of these kids on $1300+ track bikes with full Dura-Ace, and then there's Beast on his Giant Bowery with a Zipp disc running away from everybody.

Need I say more?

Not sure why I'm all hunched over and looking like I'm gonna die. I felt awesome that day, the whole time. It looks like my lungs are trying to get out :eek:

:lol: Now there's the REAL "Team Disco..." ;) :D

Dude...you actually look WAY skinnier in that pic than you do in your avatar pic....

You forgot 'pasty white like a 10 dollar hooker' :p

You guys get to thinking you're fat, just come see me and you'll feel much skinnier. ;)

some of you have already had your fun with this one, but if truth be told it's one of my favorite pics (of the very few that i have) of me racing.

burlington vt crit, summer f '93. i was one of the +/-15 riders who actually finished.

you can see my jugular almost bursting on the actual print.

^^^We were talking at work just the other night about how guys should never wear purple.

Looks good on you, though. ;):)

Not a bad pic.

That isn't a bad pic at all.

Was the burlington crit the same course as the current GMSR crit?

That isn't a bad pic at all.

i know, but a lot of you youngin's mistake my Grunge grunge for a mullet. ;)

i think so - super technical with a hill, and nowhere to really recover. sound familiar?

Sounds very familiar! Left, Left, Right, Left, Left, uphill to the Finish.

Need I say more?

Wow, looks like my first race, also. :D

that's the one.

IIRC there was a RR in upstate NY on the saturday, and burlington on the sunday, back then.

Need I say more?

was the guy with the green hoops playing rugby, or hockey after the race?

Was that try outs for the part of Cyril in Breaking Away? Did you at least get to meet Daniel Stern?

Mountain biking, but...

I was dead at that point, and had fallen... Heh.

Wow, that's depressing. At least I could blame the vest and warmers in the avatar pic... :o

Haha.... Isn't that a good thing, though?

Oops!

That's not just a mullet, it's almost an Ekimullet.


Need I say more?

Mike, I'm speechless. And not in a good way. :p

You do have the Breaking Away look down almost perfectly. The guy on the left even kinda looks like a young Dennis Quaid.

Haha.... Isn't that a good thing, though?

Yeah, I guess so... My weight has stayed about the same but everyone tells me I look skinnier. Guess that just means more wattage in the cottage. :D

More Muscles!!
