Nay, sans undies. Even with the longer vintage jersey I was wearing I'm sure there was some inevitable crack action. Figure it would dissuade wheel suckers. I was pissed at first, but the whole situation was just silly and got over it and still had a good time.

No ponytail next time. Same rules as in hockey. If you are going to sport the long hair, let it flow. Sensitive ponytail guy doesn't get it done. Lose the scrunchy and you look mean. People will get out of your way instead of trying to take your lunch money.

A crit in Torrance, CA a few years ago...
I think this might have been a 3/4/5 crit right after I did the cat 5 race--I DNF it

Making a kilometer blurry
3/4/5? Who puts 5s in with 3s? That's going to be a lot of pulling dropped riders.

Hmm, there is a 30+ 3/4/5 category for the road race this weekend...
Anyway, here is a picture of me suffering... I'm at the very back of this long train.
And then I'm pretty sure this is right before I got dropped. I may have held on for one more lap.

Lakeland, FL state crit in either 06 or 07. I was a 4 then, that's all I remember. Cars on the course were a nice touch also. The guy in the Cuba kit won it... he came from nowhere (had experience obviously) and was a 2 by his 5th race.

Eighth at the split clock on the climb up Hanging Rock.
I don't show suffering much. But this thing was brutal. Absolutely brutal. And trying to hold with the lead group made it a nightmare. (You can see there's no one behind me. I was always last in the lead group up the climbs. But we gapped the rest of the field pretty good)
Can't wait til next year.
