Good going Keith!! Your ride reports always amaze me and I always look forward to the next one...:)

you race Vance?

Cat 5?? I dont really think that crits are your thing anyways, I see you with the climbers

No, I don't race. I'm not really the competitive sort. And I can't see myself ever doing crits, either... seems like if you aren't a sprinter, it wouldn't be a very rewarding endeavor. ;)

If you want to drop Keith come up to Angeles Crest this Saturday. He'll be waiting. :D

nahhhh too far of a drive for me :)

Nothing wrong with a good goal, keep up the hill repeats on Reseda.

I'm not even close...I will need at least 2 years to get to his current level. His climbing skill destroys mine at this point in time.

I try...I just need time, new bike, 10lbs less :)

you have 12 or so years to go. After all you are only 22...

In 2 years he will be 45, why don't you pick on guys your age. Take a shot at Adam (adxm). He's close to your age. Go after Gus, he's pretty young, too.

45 is really, really, really young. It has to be.

If I recall correctly, you're right.

they're too fast...and I'm fat

Okay I'm burned out...

Joe tortured me today on the rollers :(

I'm going to take it easy tomorrow, no hammering.

Oh, we understand. :p

:p

I heard that the younger you are the less developed your muscles are so you can't use them to the full potential.

Maybe thats why I suck :(

lol. you are such a schizo. "I'm the best. I suck. I'm the best. I suck." Just ride, baby!

I never said I was the best :p

I just said I dropped you on the climb...that was my only goal after you said I wouldn't be near you to hear the ticking :)

Vance why don't you come out to the club sometime instead of always venturing outside of the best cycling area !!

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Especially coming from someone who never even proved his own existence for so long! I will be there tomorrow. And since I did Encinal today, and I'm nursing a sore knee, I may even be back with you on the climbs.

Nice :) See you in the morning

Vance and Steve(Cassave) laid the hammer down and dropped me today :(

Meanies!!

Great ride aside from WAY too many mechanicals and flats

Sad to say that Ovo is getting too strong for his own good. He will be knocking on Keith's door in a month or two, if he keeps this up. I kept trying to talk him into taking a couple weeks off.

Yes, despite the flats, it was quite a workout. More fast people than usual, so every little bump in the road became sprint to the top. Of course, the main instigator was Ovo, constantly challenging everyone. lol.

Ended with about 75. And it wasn't too hot.

got rode hard and put away wet by the club guys today...did ok till right after corner bakery ten my body rebelled....it was a long, slow, lonely ride home!

Scoot, were you with Stan when he flatted? Was Mario there?

i passed them and yeah Mario was there. then i had to take a "my head is spinning" break and they passed me.

Hey I didn't challenge anyone :p

I gave it 110% on the first climb. I went early and tried to hang with Rick but he dropped me about 75% of the way up. I kept looking back and saw you, Steve and Manny coming up kinda fast. Manny drafted you and Steve on the way up and then came around and nearly passed me at the top. He claims the top was about 10ft ahead but I know where the top is, its where the road curves to the right because thats where we always wait for everyone. I just wanted to make him suffer trying to pass me---he talks big, I like to show him up :D

Vance you dropped me on the last climb/rollers. You were suppose to go ahead and block the leaders and pull me to the top in victory...What happened?!?!?!?
