Second lap of the Masters 35+ race at Fork Shoals, SC. (Left to Right) Charlie B., me, and J. Thomas. Broke away from the field with 3 other guys, chased down a two man break, caught them before the first lap, and rode all but the three of us off our wheel. We went on to finish more than 5 minutes ahead of the main field. I finished 3rd and held 3rd place in the 6 race omnium.

This is me suffering: Mouth open, bad form, hands on the hoods

Yep. Learn from the guy in front of you if you want to ride the hoods. Personally I prefer to ride in the drops.

And good job sticking with these guys to get the small box.

This is where we (Three man winning break) caught the two up the road and rid ourselves of the rest.

Different kind of suffering. This kind of suffering is fueled by a cold craft beer waiting at the finish line for me.

sorry for the link fail, let me try this again:

Suffering in its true form. raced collegiate A's my 3rd ride back after 4 wks off (got hit by car), and as you might be able to tell from my gut, I had kinda let myself go haha. If im not mistaken, this is me trying to bridge up a couple laps in as the pack sorted it self out. Adding to my misery, the lead group was guns blazing from the start. I lasted maybe 5 laps before being popped, and stuck in the no mans land between the lead pack and any kinda chase.

Nice suffer face.

What course is it? I can't recognize it. I assume that it is WCCC
