So even when I suck...
I don't suck all that bad. I realized that this weekend at Gloucester. I had to work all week, even saturday, so I was tired going into the race on sunday. Not a good thing when your racing against the likes of Ryan Trebon and Tim Johnson...sort of. Anyhow, I had a good start, for me at least, and then I started to fade...and fade...and fade. Before I knew it I was fighting tooth and nail for a top 30 finish. This is not something I am too pumped about. But...on the upside. A year ago at this time I was pumped to finish a UCI race on the lead lap, and I had to have a near perfect day to make it happen. Now, even when I feel bad, and pedal squares, I don't have to keep looking over my shoulder. So yes, it's true, Ryan Trebon is a better cross racer than I am, but not a whole lap better...even on my worst day.

plus, when you think about it, he is like 8 or 9 feet tall, so if you take his speed and divide it by his height, and then you do the same thing for your height and weight, then add 5. and i think you see what i'm saying...
hey adam, i put a video up of our incident here in case you want to relive it.
next time i am going backwards i will stay off the racing line :)
Adam,
You seem to excell at the suffer-fest races. These cyclo-cross may be right up yer alley, no?
Nice crash...
You need to practice ghost riding the whip before you bring it to the masses.
See ya'll this weekend.
