I'm a little confused here. Are you saying you're the guy in the Once jersey? And at 57, racing in non-USCF races and keeping up with Cat 3 (effective) racers?

I wish the 3's here were filled with clinically obese guys in their late 50's. I would probably race more if they were.

I'd have been in cat 4 if there were enough riders to make a cat 4 at these events. That first race was a problem for me because it had a hairpin that strung the group out and it didn't take long before I couldn't accelerate off hard enough to stay with the group. I did manage one time to hang with the main group on a course with faster turns. My goal all along had been simply to feel what the peloton was like and see if I had the nerve to turn with them. I had no illusions.

So I guess it depends on what you mean by keeping up.

Hey, guys I race BMX here in the States I do a little roading every now and then I have been an avid fan since the early 80's. Started racing BMX in 1982, I just turned 40. I love BMX and road cycling, I don't have any photos with me to put up as I am at work. I wish you all a good day and good riding, whatever it may entail. JB

Another seat sniffer here. Has to drop in every time I say something.

Don't you other posters find this annoying?

It is annoying when any posters find it necessary to bait each other. You've cluttered up other forum strings with this personal crap already.

Everyone watch out. He is getting upset. It's only a matter of time before he starts threatening people again.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.




MacRoadie is certainly fast if he is hanging with Turbo.

Dude, I grew up in So Cal. To suggest I don't know of Bill S. Preston, Esquire is most heinous.

Let's not get carried away here. There were actually 8 of us, but the photo was from a convenient angle. It didn't end well either.

And you guys were racers enough to silence the crap stew that was brewing in the background. I'm sure I speak for many...Thanks!
