I love it's a game of "where is waldo" trying to find a glimpse of me in Victor's pics. When I have to convince my wife that I'm not sneaking out the door at some ungodly hour to see a mistress, I resort to saying - see there is my left foot in that photo and in that one is my shoulder.

BTW I overheard during reg that this woman raced years ago, took time off to have kids, and came back to race in the 4s.  She didn't get dropped.  In fact she was hanging tough in the field with the rest of the 4s.  Badass!

New Recruit?  So we can have a "Family Man's and Woman's Ride" Thread.

The secret is to ride an "above ground pool blue" bicycle....this color is actually visible through carbon fiber...

(BTW I kept mixing up Jeff Owens and Condon's names yesterday morning.  My excuse is I didn't yet have my caffeine fix and also there are too many fudging Jeffs in this club, but my sincerest apologies to both)

Condon, White, Owens... It's like a freaking convention...

Strong showing guys! good racing, wish I could have partaken.

Same. Lets have fun.

also a strong female is masha of FBF fame.

You and your Gopro will be sorely missed...

good luck on the race on the third; i can't make it as i'll be moving. sucks

i'm in for saturday.  project "keep jeff in 3rd".

Kissena is engaged in some very sensitive talks with Foundation (the evil empire).  In a world where friends become enemies and enemies become friends, Kissena has found their interests aligned with Foundations.  Jeff and Altcheck from Foundation both want to get in a break and distance themselves from the series leader Carl.  In a twist that would make Machiavelli crap his toga, Kissena is prepared to join forces with Foundation.

The 3-4 field is becoming a caricature i fear.

I'll be there, weak legs and all.

Machiavelli didn't wear a toga dude... that was Brutus

No jules. That was Belushi. Duh!

OH SNAP !!!! It is on now.......

hah.  only time will tell how "on" it is for me after sitting in the library for a month

Awesome. We'll have a force. Charles is talking to me about starting an early break like the first KOM or sprint with 5 or 6 guys.. Not sure we could hold a break for that long but if we had the right guys I suppose its possible. I suspect Carl will be marking Charles' every move to protect his 1 point lead. Not sure what's the right move. He'll enlist his whole team to support and i said we have strong players in the mix as well. We'll need a plan in case it comes down to a sprint finish. Maybe set up Brendan and I'll sweep. More to follow as inter-squad talks continue. The unfortunate part of Saturday is that I will need to leave immediately after the race (presumably after the protest period if I'm in the money) to pick up mya daughter at camp in the Catskills. So no series ending muffin celebration for me. Whatever happens I'd like to treat to my Cat4 brethren to muffins another time soon.

If Carl is going to mark Charles than a 1st lap attack up the climb is not the worst idea...in fact I like it ! It's got equal parts panache & hutzpah ! It might be just crazy enough to work. The right strategy is to force Carl to actually work during the race....something he has never done and I propose that he will spit the bit if Charles keeps attacking him. Nobody has had the audacity to drop the hammer right from jump street...I say we go all in on this and split the field on the "parade" lap. Nobody will be ready for it. A Trojan horse of the orange and blue variety!

How can the rest of us help besides blocking? I imagine Carl wouldn't care who attacks unless Jeff and/or Charles are involved.

We've got two more days to plan this heist....

Don't worry Brendan. No one is expecting perfect tender from you, just substantial performance.

I love reading this nefarious plan. I know just about every cat 4 can get behind that plan. Carl Nelson is a survivor but he is also a wheel-chopping a$$hat. 

Shhhhhhh....im welding

Foundation and Kissena working together to dominate the race. I LOVE it!

He's accused me of chopping him when I was nowheres near him in a sprint.  Let's figure out a can't miss strategy...starting with dropping an H-bomb right at the whistle.

I'm no Nelson fan, so get him guys.
