At the Marion Classic charging off the front for the last time. I stuck the break, but got caught in the last corner by three guys. I marked myself the first two times I went off.

That's cause I don't have any aero crap except wheels, and I thought it would raid so I didn't want to run my carbon rims. I still beat sone guys on tt bikes.

It's also coming out if a turn so I hadn't complely gotten back in a tuck.

apart from the turn part, that explanation doesn't quite cut the mustard.

where's the snot, where's the pain, where's the boredom?

There was snot, I blew my nose in the next pic

There was pain, my pain face is that stupid looking grin

There was no boredom, it was a short TT and I was about to make a pass...

Me either. I think my T levels are low and I just don't feel so "in the mood" for it.

b, I had to double check, thought I was in the 41 for a moment there. Pretty sure he walking about you.

Kidd, that's the bike I've had all year, including when I rode with you back in May. I had a red Specialized last year.

Hmm, maybe I should go see an eye doctor. I swear your bike was mostly white. No offense.
