Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Awesome job racers!!!! I may have had some of that SWBKRUN awesomeness when I did my long bike ride today. Totally TOTALLY rocked the hills. I know it's a bit slower, but I did a $hitload better than I had in the past! All my comments will be on your RR's. :-P Anyone racing tomorrow?? |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey, all! Looks like everyone is doing great! Got home late last night (gotta love delayed flights with teenagers!) and have 3 days to get organized and out.....heading up to Trevor's neck of the woods! Seriously contemplating next goals. Couple of sprints coming up that I may do with the boys, maybe an oly. Maybe give BQ 2011 a shot, also leaning towards IMAZ 2011. Heard it has less climbs!! Sorry for the lack of posting......been sharing my computer with aforementioned teens on vacation! |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() TrevorC - 2010-07-10 5:39 PM Did a 125k(78miles) ride todays with some roadies. Way different than riding alone. And drafting. I have no idea how to ride in a pack. I liked to lead so i could drop in aero and not feel bad. Hanging on the horns isnt fun in a group. felt like i was going to crash into everyone!! Nice ride brother! 78 miles is a long ways! |

Riding in the Peloton takes some practice but once you do it enough it becomes second nature and is really a lot of fun. If the group you are with really knows how to ride it can help with your acceleration also when they. I have to admit there are times when I am out by myself that I miss having someone to draft off! ![]() Off to the great north woods with the family today for some R & R.....so I will be a little out of pocket until later this week. Be good and get those RR's up! Great Commericial...... "I can eat 21 plus a deep fried turkey" Classic line! http://iamspecialized.com/road/video/new-in-it-to-win-it-commercial-featuring-andy-schleck-and-alberto-contador- Sorry, you have to cut and paste this link for it to work, Why, because its a computer!!!

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I was not thrilled with my results today. I did however beat last years time. BUT they just posted the official results and I got a 2 minute penalty! I am p*ss*d! I motorcycle followed me for 2 miles in that time I passed 1 bike and was never passed. I did not draft, EVER! I am the only one in my AG to get a penalty. |

I am the only one in my AG to get a penalty. first off congrats on the improvement despite the penalty! 2 miles is long time for the motorbike to be following you. if this happens again or if you see them pull along side you and stay there at all, i'd finish up, cool down, and head straight for the head referee. ask if you are on his list. they may not take the penalty away but will definitely discuss what went down, from their perspective. and they might have gotten it wrong. if they did their job, as they are trained to, they just don't jot down your number and drive on. not saying you did something illegal, just saying go talk to them after the race. heck, you're a lawyer! keep your head up. we got bigger fish to fry come september. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Congrats to all you racers! We have some FAST people here... way to go everyone! I'm enjoying the RRs! On a ride with Birdy today, he goes right and I go straight. Completely my fault, but unfortunately he clipped my rear wheel, I slid out on gravel, and now I've got some serious road rash from my shoulder down to my hip, and huge abrasions on the hands. Worst part is that I think I may have a fractured clavicle. I'm making an appointment with an orthopod tomorrow... let's hope for a sprain but I've got a bad feeling about this... |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Doug. Way to go and beat last years time. Sorry to hear about the penalty. Doesn't sound like you should have gotten one. Ryan: Hope the examination turns out positive and everything is OK with the clavical. Jeff congrats on the race. Sounds like you seriously kicked some butt out there.

Ryan--really sorry to hear about the spill. I'll keep my fingers crossed it isnt a fracture. Are you in a lot of pain? Doug--I really thought motorcycles only gave penalties when you were around a group of people. Totally stinks, but deep down you know your time withouth those extra minutes. |

Sending well wishes for a speedy recovery and a negative on the broken bone possibility. Oh and if you've got any Mederma, it is great for reducing scarring from road rash. Take care. |

At least I supposed paid some one to take out my buddy Johnny... Apparently Birdy likes to get up close and personal about it |
