Jet-lagged, still a little hung over, and having gone too hard the day before... Here I am living up to my tag line. #134. New kit looks nice, though.

Driving things just before we split the field and sent our guys up the road in the winning move (which was won by a team mate - not shown in pic). That was a good day, but seems like a long time ago.

where do you guys get all of your pics from?
all i've got are pics from the ol' days in the US, or me riding a Gran Fondo?
Here's a 22 month old snap (riding more than racing, but I seemed to have attracted a crowd).

The two best around here are Jim Wilson (https://images.jamesrwilson.com/2007) and Kevin Dillard (www.velophotos.net), IMHO.

a few weeks ago a friend came by my race to take some pics. he wanted to surprise me. he succeeded, primarily because he arrived after my race was over.

why don't you do it next year?
chances are that you'll be a shoe-in to get a place, seeing as there are so few yanks doing it. otherwise you can do one of the overpriced tours, or carpenter-phinney bike camp packages.

Hmmm.......
Where would I fly into, and what are the dates? Just curious what a ballpark price on a flight would be. I'd also have to buy a bike case, so I'd have to factor that cost in as well.

I'll always be 10 pounds too heavy....I can't seem to shy away from "good tasting" food (pizza, cakes, cookies, ice cream, etc.) for very long.
Sick on the other hand.....that's starting to bug me. Right now it's allergies, but the building at work seems to be a breeding ground for illness (always seems to be a lot of sick people around).
