Hell Hath Frozen Over

Coach gave the green light. OBRA gave the green light.

All you Cat 2s beware. There is a new racer in town that you will be giving the one way ticket to Offthebackistan every week.

What was I thinking?

Congrats doc!

What will be funny will be their reaction when they still can't beat you at the TT's!

May there be many solo breaks in your future.

Congrates DrWJO, Although I was looking forward to BB#3 and having you pull me around in the winning Break

Thanks again for the sweet magnets you gave me @ Jack Frost, working like a charm.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I will give it a try and see how I do. First race is 77 miles? WTF? I don't know if I can actually ride that far, much less race it.

There is always downgrading right?

:-)
