Pace Bend/Walburg, baby!
Who's in? I'll be at both, but I'm driving lead for the Women's 3 *grumble grumble* at Walburg, and don't get to race. Racing 4's at Pace Bend (hopefully nearing the end of my 4's tenure), and driving lead for the Men's 3 in the afternoon.
This is one of my favorite race weekends in Texas (although I hear Lago is good -- this will be my first year doing Lago), so I'm stoked!

Somewhat skinny climber dude in the orange and blue kit trying to pull back the break.

I am doing Walburg. Cat 5, my very first actual USAC road race. My goals are modest: a) stay upright, and b) finish. I'm a little nervous. I have been riding ATC a lot and know I am not really competitive with that group as far as fitness, but heck with it, I'm in anyway.

Did it. It was good fun, but most of it felt like a very squirrelly, not terribly fast group ride, with at least one total moron who for no apparent reason, bumped several people pretty hard, including me. I felt safer riding right in front much of the time, so of course when things finally got going I was already kinda spent. Next time I'll budget my energy a little better. Also want to get out of the 5s ASAP.

Making a kilometer blurry
I'll keep a lookout for you RacerX, I'm racing M35+ too.
Good luck RacerX and UT_Dude!
Since I don't have an Austinbikes kit yet, I'll be wearing this generic kit. I'm the guy behind the Bike Barn rider.
