I think he'll drop back, wait for the 3's to catch him, and sneek through with them when the neutralization occurs.

Actually it won't... because any of the weak who might still be present can draft. The selection needs to be made on the PA climb and then haul ass down the decent and through the Mimbres valley to keep the gap... should have a tailwind on that part.

Good job Ex... you improved from last year's day 1, and hopefully the rest go your way.

We have one local guy (Nathan Brown) and one semi local guy (Mike Olheiser) in the Pro field. Both are beasts and should do well.

What Cat does Racer Ex race in? Browsing the results but I don't have a clue who he is. If he doesn't want it public I understand.

Pretty funny to have an Austin LBS squad tearing it up at such a big race.

One of those girls is not like the other.

I'm guessing she is 5'1. I don't think you'd see her arms that way in real life.

Very true, as I'm eating BBQ with jalapenos and onions piled on top. And some jalapenos on top of that. Then some more.

Spice?

Just as long as they don't go full-Bombshell McGee. As Tina Fey so eloquently put it: "If your body looks like some dirtbag's middle school metal-shop binder, it doesn't bode well for your character."

He said he was in 50+

edit: from the bible "Senior Men 50+ and 60+ will compete for two classifications: 1) for the Men 40+ race; and 2) within that same stage race they will also receive monetary prizes for their individual placing against the other riders 50 years and older, and 60 years and older."
