It's the only time I was able to unzip down to my base layer after the race and just see tons of "steam" coming off my chest. It was weird and neat at the same time....until I got cold....

So, how did you do in the race?
Our ride was 45-60 all day so a lot of us were overdressed. It was a lot colder last year.
I got pretty salty.

John, You are one happy looking cyclist!! That's what it is all about!!

We can post on BF and Skype each other when I'm on the trainer.

I'm happy because I got to ride with these two all day.

All this talk of cold weather...

I would stay on there wheels all day :)

This one was the fastest woman there. She would drop me on all the long climbs.

My picture that reminds me of warm weather from this past summer. I took it on Grand Turk Island....

She has a badass bike! :thumb:

She did a lot of research before she bought it. She even took her wheels with her every time she test rode a bike, just to take the wheels out of the equation. She is extremely happy with the Moots.
I just wish I was 20 years younger, better looking, and rich.:love:

uhh....I was in 3rd.....

...and then I realized that snow and ice do not make for ideal racing conditions...

I kissed the ground a lot. I had a couple of DA mechanicals....no not Dura Ace mechanicals, rather "Dumb Ass" mechanicals. Kicked the bike and dropped the chain while jumping the barriers, then I jambed the brake caliper into the wheel on a missed remount on ice.....

.....I sprinted at the line to hold 23rd out of 52. It sucked.

Honestly I don't think you can tell that from this angle. I'd give her the beneift of the doubt.

Before my brain could even put that picture together I thought " *sigh* Jimmy Buffett..."

How you listen to him, I'll never know.








"Dancin' awaay on a beach in the caribbean... wit da... cheeseburgers! cheeseburgers!"

Figures you would look at different things than I would.




Good thing. :D

As if I'll be awake when you are on the trainer.

At least you finished in the first half! Can you run studded tires in a cross race?

Not sure. Could have used them, but to be honest I would have done fine if I could have run the tires low enough. I let some air out during pre-rides and found myself bottoming out. Fear of pinch-flatting caused me to put some back in. Thus the sliding began.

Wouldn't have happened with tubulars and to be honest that's the way to go with cross. From my point of view that's one of the only things that would ever make me want a tubular.

You could always go fixed gear.
