Northern California - Pleasanton Crit

Anyone doing it? June 6th.

I would like to but it will be my first race. Its supposed to rain and I'm pretty sure I'll be left behind for children to laugh at..but maybe I'll be so far back everyone will think I'm first?

I'll be racing the cat 4 and 35+ 4/5. I hope it doesn't rain.

I will be in the same race. Go ahead and do it. You will have a blast!!!

I wish I were racing but schedule just doesn't fit. Plus I have been on a bike in six days.

2 weeks for me. Registered but not racing. Back injuries suck.:mad:

Anybody know the story behind the two guys leaning/shoving each other repeatedly near the front of the last lap of the E4 race? (Are you guys on here?) This ultimately ended in at least one of them going down, taking out several people behind them (including me). I'm hoping it wasn't actually stupid macho bull****, but it looked that way since each seemed to have plenty of room to ride without the McEwen imitations. We weren't even close to the end of the lap.

The sucks. What damage did your bike take? Do you need anything?

Before I ride again, I definitely need a new helmet and rear skewer. At some point, I'll need new handlebars and tape, and possibly a fork. One side of the fork got scraped down to the raw carbon -- don't ask me how. I don't know if it's deep enough to become a structural issue eventually. Both wheels have a slight wobble now, but I'm hoping the rims aren't bent and can just be trued out. I think everything else is still ridable long term, but I have to wash the bike and take a closer look today. My PT CPU display hit the deck hard and isn't working properly, but that's not an immediate issue, just a pricey one.
