An old one I'm pretty sure I didn't post before (just found it again). Ended up beating him... he signed with the protour team for 2011.

He also attacked me while I was drinking with 3 to go.

Great shot!

The photographer went through a lot of effort for that one, with two remotely triggered flash units off-camera, while taking full advantage of the low sun angle. The brush shadows on the fence look like graffiti. Very cool. I guess the flash glare on the bike is a bit overpowering, but very nice shot.

Even with the extra 30 miles riding to the race I was suffering less than the guys around me. Too bad there's not a prize for that..

It amazes me how those little thin bars can be anything close to stiff.
