yep, and nate wilson, and russ brown. those guys have gotten so good. it's fantastic. sue hefler coaches the ncvc juniors and does a steller job with them. she doesnt figure out too many tss or ctls, or whatever, but her athletes win races. at all levels. i might start working with her again.

nate and steven on lsv kelly this coming year, along w evan fader and the rest of their other roster, they might just give the harley guys some fits up here.

It's Hate Monday here in the BF RB racing forum.

Or just jockeying for position before the sprint.

The lady's brother is just off my left. This was shortly after the cat 4 field lapped the cat 5 field. Talk about a cluster F. Hopefully next week when this happens he'll grab my wheel.

He did well though, finished 10th in his first race. He wasn't positive if it was the last lap, for which I actually blame ABR for not just having a 4/5 race and trying to separate the two.

There are times when this forum needs to get off its collective high horse. Take that statement, or leave it. As botto would say, I don't give a flying f_ck.

you look good. not as good as you will in the soon to arrive ( i know nothing, just hoping) team kit.

i have issues getting as low as you are in the pic. well, i can get down there, but its the getting up that is troublesome. i blame it on age.

are you being followed by another BF'er? later.

Yes, if I remember the reference correctly.

He also enjoyed some of my Cheese It's after the race. I guess he really likes cheese, but he is a cheese head.

I respect anyone's right to be here.

That right is in direct proportion to my own right to ridicule them for saying stupid ****.

You pays your money and you takes your chances.

He's running a splitter and running both brakes IIRC. He's currently using a bar end shifter and the left STI lever. We have been talking a lot about rigging up Di2 with the new pods they have let hit the rumor mill but havent' put out yet.

A few pics from Tour de Dung #1 from Saturday - Cat 5 (odd-numbered only) rollout:
Ok, nobody is really suffering in that pic.. but how 'bout those Olympic Mountains?

A pic from the Cat 4 race, guy leading the pack on this lap took the win (Mark M on Starbucks) - he's a great guy, but I'll be racing him now! Time to step it up a bit...


Women's Cat 4 peloton:


Can't wait to get back out there this weekend..

This picture does more justice to show just how bad ass he is...
(also shows the splitter for the brakes)

He was throwing down 4.2 or 4.4 w/kg during an indoor TT last month for second in the 4's. I got him on the team last year and then he came over with me when I started up my own team in Jan. Thus the non-descript blue jerseys in lieu of kits

In this race they started us in the 4's about 5 -10 seconds before the 5's. Said we could work together if the 5's caught us but it would be scored separately. Last year everyone sat up and raced as 1 field. This year a couple of slim_77's teammates went to the front and hammered right off the bat. Found myself out front on the first lap. We ended up lapping the 5's with a few laps left. From there it turned into a cluster as the 5's started asking us what to do and what was going on and the 4's were still racing to drop as many souls as possible. A total f'n clustered horse race.

....it was awesome. I love March.

Matt wants more.

It's my mom's birthday, her present will be a cat 4 win followed by another cat 3 puke-fest. Hopefully.
