That looks brutal. It rained once in Santa Monica. It was a tough day.

only redeeming quality of me in the shot is that i probably have the flattest back of all the racers in the picture, not to mention that i'm the only one in the drops.

this was the calm before the storm, 3 laps later, i found my self in OTB-stan.

the skinny kids in the lime-green on the right side of the shot are from Killington Cycling School or something. Lil f***ers tore up the race...

Killington Mountain School...they have a crazy good alpine and XC ski team, and I've heard that their CX team is pretty good too. Not surprising that they have a killer cycling team...

You have to remember that this is a high school for the athletically gifted, though https://www.killingtonmountainschool.org/

sorry guys, but my coach took the pictures. On the plus side, the next race at PSU is Zach Repp's home race.

I wished I had raced in college. Too busy with the usual college distractions.

I didn't even buy a bike until I was out of grad school... too bad, as both my schools have teams.

Trying to bridge to the break (that went on the second lap) in the Winter Garden Crit this past weekend. Made it half way across and then couldn't make it any further.

his son (assuming - same name), the KMS racer on the right (not the skinny little one) in that picture echappist posted, won the B time trial this past weekend. i was 4th. he also made the selection of 5 guys in the road race on saturday and took 3rd, and he spent a good portion of the crit in a breakaway with another rider that we didn't reel in until the last lap.

runs in the family, i guess.

More images from racing in the seemingly never ending rain...Tuesday 27-MAR-12 @ Pacific Raceways P1/2/3 race...I was in the break in the second half of the race only to pop 3/4 of a lap from the finish line. Dropped back and got a pack finish.

Cresting the last climb on a particularly lumpy 24km ITT today near Melbourne - wildlife sign might give a clue to which country
