Very cool. Many thanks. Now I'll be able to get power data from races without subjecting my "good" bike to those wires. It's dumb, but I refuse to put the wires on my race bike.

Safe at home! Cool trip. Didn't know that there is a drive in theater that's open just east of Winfield, also drove by a carnival, and some place that was setting off fireworks. Finally found the freeway and noticed that it was Elk Grove, right where they started the road race last year (some ball park - I forget the name). Then while on the not-quite-free-way:
Double dose of cold medicine is just about kicking in so I can put about a dozen batteries of all kinds on charge and ZZZZZZzzzzzzz ..... . . .

Cat 5 40+. I ran out of legs on the last hill. I went too early and was passed by a bunch of guys. I don't like racing in the rain and I was slowing quite a bit on the turns. I did not stick around to see my place since I have a soccer game in a men's 40+ league this morning as well.

Last two races just ended. Long day! Thanks to the farmer for letting us park here and me steal his WiFi.
Big thank you to Frunkin for carrying the Peloton-Cam. Robbie Ventura was here in the Masters and also had a cam on his helmet.
BIG turnout for the non-WI 4/5's, a lot of relieved faces when crossing the line the final time. Luke from CBR took the 3's today. Sorry Luke, you're still not the WI State Champ though.

That break was crazy. Good to hear they held. They just kept getting stronger as the race went. Sorry I had to leave and didn't see the end. How'd our boys do?

I was gonna say...
Busche is a strong dude, but unless ABD, Panther and Alderfer-Bergen completely f***ed up, no way he's winning that race.
And, of course, it turns out that they were the teams in the winning break.

I resurrected the video taken by Psi from a bad thumb drive.
Sure is nice of you to let all those riders ahead of you like that.
Will post it later this afternoon.

That was my worst race this year. Nice of you to have the video evidence to prove it.
