I like the weighted points, I think the concept is brilliant, but we never focused on that, it was laps all the way. Top 5 was the goal. So yeah, once again I'm racing for a prize no one cared about.

As I am embarrassed by my raw geekiness, I will now photo blog: (these photos brought to you by mike kirk)

etown pulled the keg breakers together, and lead the way as the lightest, I mean youngest rider...

does this look like a man returning to racing after 1 year, 4 months, and 29 days. Look out kids, the ruler is back, and guess whose baker's dozen team he's on ? pichow! (say it, it feels good)


any sailor can captain a ship when the seas are smooth, it takes a real leader to navigate the rough waters. Peaches didn't feel great this day, but still put in very strong laps, and looked past knowing he didn't have his best stuff. That's why I have done so many team races with the kid, great character.

Buddy is determination personified. One of the toughest people I get to ride with. He was awesome this weekend. The short format isn't is his forte, but you'd never know it.

I'll admit it was weird not seeing Wes T. Conqueror on the purple rig this weekend. He has seemed to figure out how to work derailleurs very quickly. Bright kid.

I guess not any more weird than seeing me on this. First time since 2001 I have raced a geared bike, first time since 2003 I raced anything but a Spot. Black is kinda slimming isn't it. Well not always.

When Johnny isn't busy leaving his lime green boxer shorts in my car, he is all metal.

Jebbagger let the MASS know last weekend what all the crossers found out last fall... The kid can fucking ride a bike like a banshee...
