Yeah...I didn't know where you were. There was no prize for G.C. but you missed the "podium" shot.

huh.. the flyer said "cash prizes for GC podium".. Maybe that was just for the special people that aren't in S3/4. I would have gladly taken a free beer coupon if you hadn't hogged them all!

How deep the prize list went depended upon how many starters there were. In our group the prizes went 5 deep as we had 20+ starters. Yours only went 1-2. I also was hanging around the podium when several guys I know got their prizes...the term "hey Keith..do you want my beer?..I don't drink" came up rather frequently.....I came home with 2 more 6's and 3 more coupons. That makes a total of 42 beers for the weekend....not a bad haul. If anyone is gonna be in Guelph in the near future let me know.

Rick races for La Bicicletta.. he's often on the side of the course during our race. Seems like a good guy.. I always give him a face and he always laughs.

ps. great shot of today's Other Runup during the 11:30 start: https://www.ontariocycling.org/web_im...so_2_jam_1.jpg

Holy hill-jam batman

As I was scrolling through shapelikes' pictures, each picture I came to was like "ah yep, this one takes the `angry` award" until I got to this one...



That's a helluva serious "Take no prisoners" look, Keith The caption on flickr says it all

Looked like a fun weekend, congrats guys.

Edit: Today I passed a fair milestone (for me anyway) - my ODO ticked past 3000 miles (~4800km) on the roadie since May 7th when I got it going. Another 100-ish miles puts me at 5000km I think.

Nope, sorry.. I didn't touch the camera at all on Saturday I don't think. Unless you specifically remember me taking a photo.
