I also got dropped off after the first 2 laps and remember seeing you, because you were the only other guy with a blue jersey. I was not to pleased with getting dropped but got 9th out of 16, so it could have been worse (Cat 5's not combined with 35+). After the race however I had a 3 hour drive back home, which was not to much fun.

. Figured for that drive, I am going to push it till I break, so did that and came out of it somewhat pleased. I was also talking with the guy that one Josh Flexman, before and after the ride, it appears he won a lot of the area events so far this season.

yeah, photog did a great job. Good idea shooting with a wide angle low and up and using slow sync flash. Most people think telephoto when it comes to sports photography.
This is at The Driveway in Austin. Its a car race track that a bike race promoter leases on Thursdays during the spring/summer/fall.

Ah cool, must be fun to race on a track, I have a friend who lives in Austin who races his car and he's driven that one before.

here ya go, from this past weekend... I like the drop of sweat on the tip of my nose. I was suffering from "go" in that race but hung in and managed a 6th despite my complete inability to sprint.

Vernon Hills Masters 4/5 - I'm on the front as planned for the last 3 laps to help lead out our man (behind me in the white glasses)
Put him on the podium....
....in other news....little meatball is tearing shiz up. He's got more hardware than a Lowe's store at this point....
I've resigned myself to knowing at some point I get to say, "I knew him when."
