Japanese Pursuit Team

"If my sleeping in entertained them, they were in for an even better treat from the Japanese team pursuit squad. Pursuit events are not usually a Japanese forte, but the team was on the line and ready to give it their best. They shot off the line at sprint pace, sustained it as long as they could, which was about two laps, and then just got slower and slower. In the end their heads were bobbing up and down. When they finished they were so done that they just collapsed on their backs in front of my stand. The best was yet to come as one of the men managed a gasping request to their coach, who pulled out a pack of cigarettes and gave them one each."

Twins

There's something about identical twins that's just hot. These babies are gonna be sooo much lighter than the single speed commuter bike I was racing last year. Look! they even have derailleur hangers.

Oh, and they're the first blue Stigmatas eveeeerrr.

Track Fights Update

Thanks to all our loyal Track Fighters, but we're going to be calling off the rest of the spring series. We've had a lot of fun, and some great workouts, but they seem better fitted to be a fall-only series to get 'cross riders tuned up for the season.  Keep your eyes peeled for start dates....heck, post here or email us directly with your suggestions for start dates. 

Thanks again!

 

Tonight's Race is on

Looks like it's drying up out there and the forecast doesn't call for rain for the rest of the day so I think we're good. Not much wind either so it'll be good racing conditions. I gotta go rock-paper-scissors against Kimmel to see which one of us gets to race tonight.
