Thanks! Only 34 finished the stage, I'm not sure how many started though. 67 started the stage race as a whole so 33 people didn't finish, shows just how tough it is to put in 3 solid efforts in two days.

tazers rock, until its pointed at you.

She is one annoying old woman

Believe me, it was.

There is the chance of idiocy, though hopefully not from the judge.

There was no cat 5 field

no, judge Judy. outrageous!

The wife is just a straight up lying beotch

The 4s are freaking tough.

hard to miss.

no. the Outrageous! drama.
The wife would be hard to miss with my truck.

not to be a kill joy but, at some point a job may factor into this plan.

start small, work up.

Back from the land of Landis by late afternoon. First use this year of my car's A/C system in near 100F inland temps along the way home. Was rewarded with a cooling marine layer along the last 10 mile oceanside route. Finally home, after two days off the bike, so I had to ride. 25 miles, 2500 feet, sub 2 hrs of riding. It had everything -- summer evening sunshine, steep, hot, sweaty climbs, long, fast, cool descents. And this from the Fredcam (cell phone):

2500 feet up, o'er looking the ocean marine layer as far as the eye can see.


On the descent, at 1800 feet, the marine layer moves into the canyon.


Thank you bike for giving me the freedom to see so much beauty up close and personal.

sweet pics Kidd.

What? you want fries with that.

So you've got the starting small down. Now you need to learn to go bigger....

Maybee he should sell pictures of cell phones on ebay? outrageous!

^ this.

Dude, seriously? Post somewhere else for your ten posts.....or at least say something of interest, not this ^ crap....

I'm an embarrassment to the sport of bicycle racing.

I'm going to go back and start deleting old posts to keep my post count under 40K.

It has the potential to drive half of you utterly insane.

See?

But I figure if I can get skinny enough and I do a few intervals I can hold onto those guys for a race or a ride.

And some days, I actually can. I will agree with the 33 on one thing: riding with Freds can really suck. I'd much rather chase the 33ers, their overly stuffed egos, massive delusions, and pernicious elitism notwithstanding. At least they know how to ride. OK, except for the Team Organic moron who spontaneously fell off his bicycle in front of me in the pace line @ 25 mph, but I guess you'll get that.

Hey, if it can happen to Jens Voigt, it can happen to anyone.

Razor, shut up.

That is all.

That would make it 100%
