That's right. I almost forgot. I meant to ask you why you didn't go with Charlie in Reidsville last year?

No disrespect at all, man. I was able to get in the break with Charlie at BMW. Three of us almost rode away from that as well.
Ryan was giving me props (I heard) yesterday to some of my team mates.
Anytime I can attach myself to their wheel (or yours for that matter) I count it as a win in my book. You ALL are above my playing field at the moment. But it's my goal to become more competitive.

My point exactly! Man, I sat on his wheel waiting for him to go, and he finally did just after I moved off of his wheel. Frustrating.

cdr, are we going to get a post on how it's more efficient to spring with one hand in the drops and the other on the hoods? Maybe which is which depends on your dominant leg or whether or not you're right handed?

edit: just realized the 2nd isn't the end of the sprint. I think it's lame to delete comments, though, so it stands for me to look like an unobservant idiot.

lol. Second was just some random shot by the start/finish. However I did attack like that on the first lap. Came up the hill, put one hand on the hoods, shift, pedal, shift, pedal, shift, pedal. When I got to the turn I put my right hand back on the drops. Since I found myself doing that a few times (not attacking, the right hand on the hood thing) it must be something I do regularly.

There are other shots where I'm on the drops, and I was on the drops whenever it counted. I spent a lot of time on the hoods during the race, not sure why.

neither suffering, nor racing.

merely riding to sign in, but my magnificent mustache must have caught someone's attention.

This is a shameless plug for umd and kuf's photography. Plenty of excellent suffering to be seen in their race photos. Here's a few from the Callville Classic in Nevada a few weeks ago.
