Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

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...


Cat-5's being dropped...


Yeah, that's Pcad...




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

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


Team mascot?


The end.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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