I have a red Cannondale Six Thirteen. I also have bright pink helmet straps. I checked out the site and there's some seriously professional looking stuff on there, again awesome shots!

(that wasn't umd sprinting at the finish, so I didn't understand at first your comment that you finished just ahead of him.) May I be the first on BF to congratulate you?

Hello,
Nice pictures of the Chuck Pontius Crit! I was looking for a good picture of the Cat 1/2 field (pack) sprint. Did anyone happen to capture one?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear that.
San Luis Rey will be my acid test for whether or not I'll be going to the district road race championships in Bakersfield.

Damnit I missed out on registering for the 4's @SLR! Again, that's 2 years in a row that I am going to have to miss this race.
Oh well, I guess there is always the 35+ 1-4
Judging by my performance on these climbing races, I think I should just stay home and watch cycling on TV.

Pre-rode the course last weekend (day after Punch Bowl, no less), and that's gonna be a *tough* race.
Really fun course though.

So, who's going to Bakersfield this weekend? Since someone was genius enough to schedule the elites on Mother's Day, I'll be getting a thorough beating in the Masters 30+ on Saturday

35+ on Saturday and Pro/1-2 on Sunday. My wife is happy to have the day alone with her daughter (my stepdaughter) and my mom has given me a pass just about every year since I started racing when I was 14. I usually try to make it in the morning or afternoon depending on when the race is. This one is fairly early but with the drive, I'm not sure when we'll be back. I think the Barrio/SLR weekend used to be later so it seems like I used to always be down there. Anyways, I've missed a few Mother's Days for races.

I just saw KennyB's pictures from yesterday's 4/5 race at Eldo. Looks like there was a massive pile-up at the end of the race. Is everyone ok?

On another note, I hate to grovel and beg like this, but if anyone here might be in the feed zone and wouldn't mind handing up a bottle or two to my teammate and me, then I'll use my birthday wish to grant you a lifetime supply of good karma!
