The race last week that I did on my low volume riding schedule (16 hours in 2 months and a week). For the first time I added some info on the bike, using a picture I took at the race (and posted here under race rigs).
One former pro that I first raced "against" when we were Juniors, one former multiple national champ / Olympian that had literally never talked to me in the 30+ years I've been racing, some friends and regulars.
