Oh, and a rare video entry for me! From Kevin Ray/Precision Videos: https://vimeo.com/44101278.

A video of a Wednesday crit, June 13th. I can be spotted throughout - small guy with black and white kit (mostly black, white sides, white horizontal stripe on chest) and orange bike. But my personal favorite suffering moment is at 4:10, as I attack from the front coming out of a corner to take a prime. Much suffering.

Anyone every wonder what a fat guy would look like on a time trial bike? Keep in mind I'm down 60 pounds so far. As hard as it is to believe, I was fatter!!!




I still think this is my favorite picture from the race.



And the data....

Not quite the same kind of race, but a race and suffering nonetheless.

Aerodynamics are less a function of volume than that of shape. Nice work!

p/1/2 crit at Capital Stage Race last weekend: https://reedkj.smugmug.com/CapitalSta...0957&k=7HX8RV9

I was pissed b/c I missed the break that eventually lapped us.. not a good habit!!

Nothing special about this one, but you can see the quick right-left we make on the course.. add some broken up pavement in the turns and the exit, and it makes for some exiting times: https://reedkj.smugmug.com/CapitalSta...7119&k=PDwXtqQ

Unfortunately no pic of me winning the prime.. oh well, maybe next time. I swear it happened!

...even better that you look like you're about to pick up a 6 pack with your outfit on the podium.

Congratulations sir.

Nice pic but why are your fingers near the break levers?
