I no longer have a tt bike or any rim brake bikes. I refuse to sell my trispoke out of fear I'll lose the coolest looking wheel one can ever own.

Looks like we got things pretty stretched out there! Good times.

Another shot of me in last place (2/2) in the elite division of the first Fiesta Island time trial. The kid on the podium is a stud and rode 30+ MPH for the 20k in cold conditions with dried sand and mud on the island. 14th in worlds. Me? A newbie/budding time trialist:

20Km Fiesta ITT 3 of 7 Masters 70+
Great day to race. 14 second spread on the podium. I guess I did not suffer enough.

1990 Killington State Race. Last day. Race finished at the top of the Killington road.
I'm in front of Francois Von Beck. A good friend and mentor. He was a retired pro from Belgium. His training motto was "Ride 'til you puke"...then keep riding.
Sadly he passed some time ago but is not forgotten.

2021 regional TT, after 40k at the finish line. Likely looking up road for the sight of relief of the finish line crossing. Credit, Jamie Loafman, wife of a teammate.
Waiting for the photos from this year, they trickle in all during the year after the event.

Solo on a break, that didn't work:

1 lap later, I got caught but it was a prime lap and I wasn't going to let anyone get around me =]

Last year's fit at the 2021 Regional TT champs, better photo of me huffing/puffing and with head actually down. Other photo was me looking up passing the finish line.
I could not find a person to credit the photo, the photo was randomly buried in the CCA Regional TT Facebook page. So they get credit. Still cannot find anything from 2022. Bummer there. I may ask the club TT guys to photo me at the next club TT ride.

It might not look like it (blue helmet/kit), but I'm doing quite a bit of suffering in the P1/2 mass start races courtesy of the Team Skyline fellow in the green/black kit:
