Maryland Cycling Classic

[RedheadDane]

Hopefully it's better than Cille's.

I suppose it was slightly better...

It was one of my usual dumb jokes, in this case about the elevation being shown in feet on the profile.

That's not a bad joke , I didn't realise the profile was in feet, I never actually read it I just look at the picture. Dumb joke works for dumb ilmaestro

is Baltimore just really quiet on a sunday, or because it is just so big?

Sunday truce man. It is as old as the game itself.

If anyone gets the reference, the you have great taste.

Did you see who's in the front group?

Pretty respectful ride for day one at this level. He's been working really hard. I think he earned the opportunity to try and take on the Canadian WT races. Proud of him.

The great 'Look who's talking too'. Yes, a classic!

All the tourist activity, restaurants, etc are along the redeveloped harbor area. The race looked to be in the financial district which I guess has no particular appeal ona Sunday/holiday.

He can't. Stagiares are not allowed to ride WT races.

Forgot about that. Good day out none the less. Thanks.

It would have been interesting if Balmer had won in Baltimore, because a Baltimore native would pronounce Balmer and Baltimore the same.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

Such beautiful jerseys up for grabs. The battles should be fierce throughout the day

Jerseys for a one day race: when are they meant to be worn?

Jerseys for a one day race: when are they meant to be worn?

Training rides?
When picking up the kids?
While sleeping (and dreaming about winning big races)?

Because I'm not from Bretagne.

And Maryland's flag is far superior.

I could never decide if Maryland had the best or worst flag of all 50 US states. It's got a real "so bad it's good" vibe. It's not surprising that Maryland counties also have some of the best and worst flags you will ever see.

Montgomery County, Maryland

Frederick County, Maryland EDIT: This flag has since been replaced with a new design

This year and last year at Maryland have been the only two good races Balmer has done at Jayco.

For future editions, they only need to do two circuits of the town as four circuits is overkill.

What a bunch of yokels, they need somebody pointing out the shape of their county on a flag.

I have started drinking Ensenada tap water.. Eder Frayre gets a top 10 in Maryland against a good field and Isaac Del Toro looks for a contract so he can race against professional talent in Baltimore!!.. I am going to buy both guys some Old Bay just in case.. Eder saved it for Leigon getting a mention for top ten..
