Snelling doesn't seem to fill out for P12 pre-reg, but it will be a big field come race day and a good opportunity to scout guys if you're going to Chico as well.

Maybe this team is huge, idk, but there's a kid here in Phoenix who is on Lux, his name is Brandon. I remember chasing him up south mountain last year, getting a top 10 time out of a couple thousand people on the strava segment, and he still rode away from me. I understand he's even faster now, but haven't seen him in a while.

Brandon may be our strongest rider now. The team currently has 5 guys in it's Elite Cat 2 squad. Brandon, Daniel, Adam, Bo, Mathew. There is a very good kid coming up.
Then LUX has several other riders that are not Cat 2 and also in the 15/16s. All wear the same kit.

The let me see if can break away with 2 laps to go only to get passed at the final turn to the finish. I need to come up with a better plan.

Coppertown Circuit race p/1/2/3 - in the break.
It was true suffering, although I'm sure I saw the photo op coming so tried to look as pro as possible.
Been meaning to raise the seat and bring it back a bit, but I really hate changing position once I have something that generally works. Every time I've ever raised my seat I get knee pain and end up lowering it..

I'll trade you a clif bar for those Williams wheels!
my front 404 is getting repaired, the rear is being worked on by me so who knows when it'll be ready.

It's a temporary new kit (last year's kit...), Castelli is crafting our 2015 kits from the finest silk worms because we're now 3+ months from the order date and no solid delivery in sight.

OUrs took a while as well, about a full 2 months which was longer than expected. We could also be twins though I have a while until I can ride in a 35+ race.

Our 2015 kits will be a bit different. I'm just hopeful they get in before an upcoming stage race since I've been using a loaner jersey. Would be nice to have a couple extra kits on hand for the different races.

this is from Craig Huffman, who is like my best personal photographer lately. I'll get him his $$, don't worry, I just want the long-lense version with the 100-dude pack behind me and he's not posted it yet.
probably my strongest move yesterday, but I got clear too clear and was alone for 90 seconds before 3 others caught me. really hurting and considering the wisdom of trying to out muscle a pack full of national championships at this crest.

Naw, I want those suffering photos so I need to make sure I'm off the front. That in turn would hopefully place me better than where I've been finishing at lately.
