yes that is me in the City BIkes ORANGE AND RED!
not the most glorious place for a "photo op"
makes mountainbike racing look like touring
not that there is anything wrong with touring, just different beasts

speaking of BEASTS....I am so much larger than those other people
guess that is what makes me a CLYDESDALE



then again there were moments in the race where we exited the woods and hit these fire roads or jeep roads
there were glorious views of cows grazing in misty green fields
and openness as far as the eye could see
or as far as I could see for the two seconds that I looked up rather than focusing on the path before my front wheel

a good race
a good time
