Today is the start of the SCW tuesday night training crits, since they were rained out last Tuesday.
Incredible weather for today. I'm expecting fun, lots of it :)

I have my camera with me as well :)
Which group are you going to be in?
I'm going to run a petition to run a C group for the cat 6er like me :D
BTW, how do I recognize a fellow BFer like you? I'm going to bring my beat up dark green Honda Odyssey with an old neon/purple steel bike on a Thule rack. The bike has a small rear rack to hang my panniers as well :lol: Of course I left my panniers at home.

oh I'm not riding, the bf is. I'm not sure what group he is in. I'll be easy to recognize... I'll probably be the only one with a long black spring London Fog coat, LOL... I'll be coming straight from work downtown. I'll have on a black suit jacket and grey pants and high heels ... so I'll probably be easy to spot.
I'll look for your bike and see if I can find you!! :)

hey were you in the A or B pack. My bf started in the A pack, but went with the B pack the second time. Didn't you see us girls on the sidelines:D... I was one of them... the one in the black suit jacket freezing, it was windy out there, brrrrrrrrr!!
Well hope you had a good time:)

Yeah.. it was quite windy and gusty on the backstretch. I think somewhere around 20-25mph.
I was definitely in the B group. But I only was able to hold on for two laps before I was done. I latched back later on after the train came around again but again only for a lap or two.
The A group would have shelled me into the first turn after the race start. There was a cat 1 kid from Northwestern University who was making the tempo in the A group. Had a nice Cervelo to boot.
Man, I wish I was young again with no kids and time to train :D

I'm easy to spot on that one. All the way on the right with the blue Trek bike and the green long sleeve Under Armour shirt :D I must have taken a relaxed lap at this time, probably waiting for the train to come around again.
Thanks for the pics :thumbs up:

Dang.. would I have known I would have given you my DSLR for the time being. I had my DSLR with me in the van, but due to having no downtime from the race I couldn't take any pics or anything like it.
