So I met Pcad, again...
 

It's true...

I usually ride to Nyack on Sundays with a regular group but could not make it today so I stuck around for the race in Prospect Park.

There were some MAJOR breakaways today in almost all of the races. The Cat-5 race was a 2-man breakaway that completely obliterated the main field by maybe more than a minute. The Cat-3/4 had a breakaway and the Masters had a 4-man breakaway that was not caught. The Pro/1/2 had crazy attacks but I did not see the finish of that race.

Here are some HDR images of today's action:

Cat-5's; fierce...

I wanted to get pics of gsteinb but the leaders jersey is so much harder to spot quickly compared to the pink kits :p

Great Scott! Riding the Master's 4-man breakaway...

Nice pics. They have a sort-of Woodstockesque quality. Is there such a PS filter?

He really does look old.

I was thinking the same thing about that photo

They are High Dynamic Range (HDR). The blur is because I selected a slow shutter speed and then panned as they rode by.

Considering he is almost as old as my own father, I can only give him props for actually finishing with the a pack consisting of Cat-2 and even higher riders.

Side note, if you want to be photographed, don't ride a BBQ-Black CAAD9. FYI.

Pink kits also help :D

shave legs, check
wear spandex, check
wear a pink kit? nope. that's where I draw the line. Just sayin...........

Whats that ugly bike hes riding? :lol:

Pcad saw your post that he looks old.hu[url]http://news.

his chin juts forward like that so it can cut into the wind better. :p

I once saw a Global Locate kit on Foothill. Immediately recognized it from ~block away. Sprinted to catch up, but sadly, it was NOT pcad.

Another non-drive side pic of the Cervelo. What is he hiding?

Thanks kimco, I don't look quite so fat in that photo.

What was the elapsed time between this rider:

And this one?

I think the Cervelo looks pretty snappy in those pics, particularly with Psimet's cool 404 clincher Ptap wheel set.

I think he kinda looks like Robin Williams. (pcad)

eh?

Be careful with your answers, because the two guys behind me are Alan, one of the faster guys on our team, and Gsteinb, our Team Leader.

By the way, Alan is riding his $4000 Lightweight wheels in that photo. Just sayin'. I think Alan is still mad at me. I hope that makes him even faster.

All I see is a bunch of old doodz. :P

Yeah, he does look like Robin Williams in that pic.

. . . . or Dick Dastardly!

If you were riding with them all you would see is a bunch of old doodz asses receding into the distance.

More Hanna-Barbera genius. Dick Dastardly.

I thought Gsteinb was riding for a different team this year. This soap opera is hard to follow.

As the Zipp Turns.

That depends how you view the photo. If he is leading, he looks quite youthful. But if he is being lapped..:eek:

:lol:
