Some true suffering.

Spit out the back after 20 minutes. Worked with 6 others to finish about 45 seconds behind the main field.

In the red w/ black helmet. Thanks to users 'Slingen' and 'Pdaddy' of Stlbiking.com for use of the photos.

Tail-gunning the Webster P/1/2/3 Crit


Regretting arriving at the race at 6am to clear the course and stand on my feet as a course marshal until right before my race. (Tour de Soulard)
