trying to organize people to chase down a solo/two man (not sure when in the race this was taken) breakaway, but of course, everyone would rather race for 2nd than actually put effort in.

Damn that's a big dude in that pic.

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 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.

Spend a week in the 41. You'll end up clinically insane but your post count will be up.

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.

Cheers from Crapghanistan
