Sounds like you animate pretty much all the races you are in, keep up the good work.
thanks dude. as far as the animation... yeah. i need more discipline.

anyway, seeing as there aren't many photographers at the races i do, i'm going to show some more.



KMII trying to set me up for a prime, but he pulled so hard, he took it.

yep. after breaking spokes on 3 occasions, the rear is now at the LBS that ^oZ works at. hopefully he, and his colleagues, can help me get it sorted.

I think you may be on to something. I can get a 50mm front relatively cheaply (and since that's where most of the aero benefit comes) and keep my ol' reliable SSC SL on the back.

Last week at the 50 mile Westlake training race, about 35 minutes in, and just before my full bottle ejected. My new avatar until cross season.

I like this one.

From tonight's super-hilly fracker of a race. I was "mid-pack" which means, after total detonation, the largest groups of riders could be counted on one of the Simpson's hands.



another view, a bit later. those ESG jerseys fit terribly.
