congrats again, Chris!

^^kinda shows at what level you are racing. You have the 4s mentally and physically psyched out. They clearly know what they have to do to prevent you from separating, but they don't have the psyio-psychological will-or team strategy to do it. You may have a more difficult time in the 3s because of their ability to work as a team and your well deserved and hard earned reputation.

Right before I come around the front guy. I won this sprint for 2nd place. This is in North Stonington CT at the end of a 1KM climb.
I can't believe nobody else has said something yet, but what are those bars and how are the USAC legal?

Looks like you'd murder someone in a wreck, thank god it won't be me.

Cane Creek SpeedBars. They're mass-start legal.

Nice shot. At least you look a lot faster than anyone else there. Of course, you're the only one in focus, so maybe you're going slower?

Having raced TBrown, let me assure y'all. He might be a bit bigger than a traditional 'roadie', but he can lay it down in a sprint.

Not for nothing umd, but having the Mrs. here is like bringing a KGB Agent to the CIA Barbeque.

Is nothing sacred?

This is a pre suffering race shot.

Here I am (orange/black) feeling tough and about to pull through at the start of a three man chase that will eventually be neutralized by a crash. I'll be suffering very shortly...(not in the crash)

Look sweetie, I don't know how to break this to you gently, but you Wives are the Enemy. The Anti-Schwag. Why do you think me and Mrs. Pcad each have our own separate top secret Slush Funds (that we both know about but pretend we don't)?

Hey, do ever actually get to see Mr. umd with all those miles he rides? Or do you have to go for a ride with him to actually converse with your husband?

He could stand a shave. That said, ilpirata87 is sporting this 'stache as of 3 weeks ago.
