Unfortunately I had to work that weekend. I’m pretty bummed out that I didn’t get to go. I’ll know better next year and plan ahead to get the weekend off from work. By the way, you definitely get the award for looking like you’re ready to fall over in that pic from Walla Walla. I actually know the guy behind you in that picture.

Anyone know if there were any photographers at Quabbin? I didn't see any, but there are probably some real good suffering pics of me hanging onto the tail end of the field by a hair.

Chasing down a break with #2 guy in the conference, on the front by myself for 6 laps. What fun. Probably shouldn't have let them get such a gap before chasing...

I'll give you one guess.

There's this one guy from Drexel who takes a lot of pics of the races. I can't remember his name and I don't have facebook. Would someone be so kind as to post the links to his albums from Easterns?

In the 5 man chase group where I eventually squeezed out a 6th place in the Masters Category.





____________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________

Mixing it up in the P/1/2/3 field where I finished 3rd Cat3 and got a bonus check.
Good ole' "truckin" is showing some suffering.



Same Pro-Am race. I started trying to pass a couple guys going up this climb to the finish. The field spread out and slowed a bit and I could move up.

In the top pic?
He had a guy in the break with us. Rich Creed I think. Rich stayed quiet in the break until the last turn of the last lap and drilled it perfectly to get 3rd. That Mesomorph worked his tail off and I was just as grateful.

There was an unavoidable puddle with two feet of standing water in it. It was, errr, entertaining.

like you, I don't wear glasses on rainy days. I find I can see better even with the constant shower of crud. I have been picking black stuff out of my eyes for a day or so afterward though.
