An Oregon racer on our local continental team (Land Rover-Orbea) won the Pro crit. Its always nice to see one of the guys that have been killing us get a great result.

Exactly what my Friday crash looked like except I landed on my back and was alone. Those painted lines man they're killer.

I fell off my rollers the other day trying to ride off them. Fail.
Not one of my finer moments. I was on my deck too. Neighbors likely think I'm even cooler now!

If you look at Levi's rear wheel, it's on what could be slicker pavement in the first picture.
Could very well have been pedal strike.
I've had that happen a couple of times but I managed to stay up, not asking questions about that anymore, but I'm glad I stayed that way haha.

Phinney DNF today it looks like. He isn't in the results, or in the GC.
I wonder what happened.

"The sometimes treacherous "Gila Monster" stage lived up to its reputation with several crashes. World pursuit champion Taylor Phinney went down less than 10km into the stage. OUCH Pro Cycling's Cameron Evans, Scott Nydam (Team B/BMC) and Matt Cooke (RideClean) also crashed out."
