I'll be in the most flamboyant kit you have ever seen in amateur racing.

hack

Ha...Dean's objective was for it to be readily visible in any pack in any race. I think he accomplished his goal.

m
y man. hang around until 2/3 and p12!

UmneyDurak

Indeed. I kind of like it actually. Got a few complements on it.

spdntrxi

yeah well see.... family obligations come first. Looks like it's in the business park near Home Depot and In and Out

What's with the low pre-reg for RedKite? I haven't been out there in months, is that the norm?

aaronmcd

Just registered for Red Kite E4

UmneyDurak

There is RR on same day, maybe that. Plus Vacaville on Sunday, and Giro on Monday. Both are more exciting then Red Kite.

aaronmcd

Yeah, but both are harder to do with parents in town. I would wait another week or 2 except that I'm 5th in the omnium. And Challenge doesn't look bad at all - I'd love to do it and have a better shot than red kite, but it's 4 freaking hours away.

UmneyDurak

I was pointing out to hack possible reasons for low pre-reg. Meh omnium. I wish Vacaville was on Satruday and Red Kite on Sunday.

hack

the weekend is pretty bunched up...too many races too little time

mattm

its a good problem to have though, especially in late August!

hack

very true

Ygduf

I need you guys to all register and race 2/3 at red kite and focus solely on gapping mark manning off the pack. double points, I could move up that last step!

hack

I pre-reg'ed for 3/4 and 2/3, don't know Mark and I'll probably do a lot of hiding in the 2/3.

mattm

go from the ***, start far away from him maybe? (like on the other side of the field)

get someone to go with you too.

he's in first overall (right?), so hopefully nobody will help chase.

spdntrxi

trying to clear my schedule to take pics... if I go I'll wear a grey Rapha tee.. and be carrying too much photo gear. Say hi so I know who to take pictures of. At this point the only person I might recognize is fudgy from all the pics he has posted.

hack

I'm the guy in the middle (orange and grey kit w/white Giant) and will be in the 3/4 and 2/3 race. Thanks in advance...you photographers are under appreciated.

UmneyDurak

Clearly not dialing it to 400W.

hack

dialed in to draft mode

spdntrxi

shooting for the afternoon... Cat4 @ 11:10 is dodgy.. maybe 3/4** and after. Cat5 @ 8:50 forget it,no disrespect to cat5, because if I raced that's what I would be.

spdntrxi

I guess I've seen worse... Because no one is standing out to me (cat4)..I'll try to be back for 2/3

UmneyDurak

How could you miss a green and baby blue kit with black and white leopard spots? That kit is pimpin yo!

Did CAT4, another 8th. heh. Although now I got enough top tens to upgrade to 3s. Very Tempting! Specially with hacks review of racing in 4s vs 3s.

In 3/4s I ended up 15th or so. Hack tried to lead me out, but we got swamped and it got super dicey. Oh well. Thank for giving it a shot man!

Also somehow I ended up 5th in the omnium. A friend tried to get a hold of me, but my phone froze and then I forgot. Apparently there were two bottles of Wine for that. I wonder if I can pick them up after the fact, maybe tomorrow? I hope so. Anyone know how to get a hold of them? I sent them a message through the website, but not sure if it went through or not. As an alcoholic in training I want the wine damnit.
