That guy is huge. For some reason all I can think of when I see that pic is Phil Liggett's voice saying "And big Maggie Backstedt just doesn't have the power in those legs to pull off the win today!"

I think I was, but too out of breath to get much out. I lost his wheel maybe 50 - 100m from the line (which I think is where the camera is), so we only lost a few seconds, and we were much further behind placing in the points than that. (edit: Also, we had a pretty good tail wind, so not as much benefit to drafting)

Collegiate Race - Dropped about 3/4 of the group throughout the race, last turn sprint for the finish, just one guy ahead of me out of frame.

Unfortunately, no. He is the younger brother of a pro rider tim Farnham. Needless to say he wasn't in th c/d group for long.

Nice
Red Trolley is one of my favorite courses. No racing for me this season but I am doing a lot of squats so hopefully I actually have some sort of sprint when I get home. The spin bike is my best friend too.
Keep up the good work guys.
