If so, what Cat and how can I spot you? It's more fun to watch if you're rooting for someone!

I'm in the 3/4 race. I'll be one of about six guys riding for Austinbikes. Not the one in the front, that'll be waterrockets.

You can root for my boys, see the Joe's Pro kit in "Pics of You Suffering". I'll be on haitus for another few weeks.

Yep, I'm in the 3/4 race, trying to get one of our Austinbikes guys in first. Tough to miss the kits:

I'm doing it. But, I hate bike racing. In fact, I really couldn't care less about this weekend. I'm tired of sucking.

So, I'll be there. I look like this:



Because I don't care, I'm going to wear the long-sleeved skinsuit, and my fugly Radar Retina Burns.

I'll also be attacking from the gun, and every time I get brought back.

F*** racing. Seriously.

The last month. Breaking the frame and having a pretty near impossible time finding a replacement isn't helping.

*No one* has *anything* in a 52, because the model years are changing. Argh!

The 3/4. Let me rephrase that. I'm going to start the 3/4. I doubt it'll last long the way things are going right now.

No, I meant what bike are you racing?

Jeez UT_Dude...it might just be worth coming down to watch you suck!

But seriously...all you guys deserve credit for taking this stuff on. I was down at the crits two years ago and that first turn is a b*tch with the funky pavement (if it's the same this year).

Good luck you guys. I'll MAY only be able to make the afternoon for awhile and won't be able to stay for the pros.

we'll have to talk in the tent. I might make a better decoy

I'm riding myself into a pile of crap one way or the other though.

UT what frame are you looking for I'm sure I could find you a 52 at one of the local shops. PM me with your geometry needs and I'll check it out.
