Yikes! 14 lbs of nutter on his head. Should give them up to a shop in Jackson WY, turn them into a dining room chandelier, and sell them to some rich dude for several thousand dollars (no I am not kidding).

He will, but he needs to do his time in hell(cat 5) first.

There is a guy like that who has been destroying the 5 (and now the 4) fields in NY this year. He just has all the right stuff: tall, skinny, muscles, genes etc. Rides people right off his wheel.

Once he gets to the proper cat though he will just become the lead-out man for some smart racers.

Personally, I've had to work really hard for every watt gained, so I am impressed by these natural phenoms, but I am far far more impressed by folks who got there just from hard work, and they exist too.

^who are you referring to, and is he registered for Housatonic Hills?

Didn't see him on that race list.

he also won Bristol, by a fair margin.

Grumpy- You making the trek to saratoga this weekend?

I was on Brendan's wheel for the majority of the corning race. Was happy with 4th their though.

I'm not racing until Wilmington-Whiteface (if I can get my mileage up to that level). Which corning race were you in?

Holy lemons, look at that coastline. What a beautiful country.

Yeah the more i see of Italy, the more i think i could totally live there.

F this N. American climate. I wasn't born to it, and i still haven't adapted nearly 7 years later.

Are you doing the 4's?

I wanted to but it's full, so I think I might have to skip this since doing the 3/4 would be a little pointless...

I saw the fall but didn't see the cause? What happened to him?

The Rabobank guys are smiling again today. LPR on the front, and not pulling the break in... again.

Corning was my last weekend as a 5 so did the 5 and the 4/5 race.

Are you doing both races that weekend? The following day is the crit in Saranac Lake. A modified crit course from the Cloudsplitter Classics in 2000/2001. I am helping run the RR so cant race but will do the crit.

looks like they just touched wheels. They just showed it on slo-mo. Everyone is back in the field now.

LA hits the floor hard...bounces off his back. He's Texan, he gets up, pissed, ready to roll now. taking numbers.

First he breaks his collar bone and now this fall. Starting to wonder about LA's bike handling skills...

I am definitely planning on the RR. Don't know about the crit yet. I might come up there for a few days and get a room. I'd like to go climb Whiteface in the early morning at some point. 55 miles is a bit over my distance, but we'll see how it goes.

You know Brendan won that 4/5 race right after placing second (by a fraction of a second) in the 3/4 race just before?

2003. Cote de la Rochette.

they even have swimming and target practice in those parts.

ISD has been ridiculously aggressive in the Giro. Great to see that.

they're not tying to pull the break in, they're there to keep the gap manageable.

today's course is stunning . . . that is all

Why do you bother?

Holy "Limoncello".

Yeah but what did the Romans ever do for us?
