Well, I learned after the last race at ADT center not to taunt the photographer.  Jenelle has taken a tremendous number of photos but they were all out of focus or blurred.  Evidence below:


At least I'm leading the field through turn two. 

So, no photos from the SoCal #2 from this last weekend at Encino.  She was protesting because I ridiculed her pictures so much from the last race at ADT.

A 6th and a 2nd place for a third overall at Encino this weekend.  Don't taunt the photographer.  Got to wear the purple number from the "most aggressive" racer.  Did what I could to save the title.  We'll see what Al has to say in the next week or two.

Points race and scartch race - I was a little bummed that they canceled the miss-n-out races.  Miss-n-outs are horribly painful but fun in weird way.  I haven't had the greatest success in them but I like them none the less, so I wasn't happy they canceled them to stay on schedule. 

Best comment of the night was from the guy from Adams Avenue Cyclery - "When I saw you go in the Scratch Race I thought 'damn, here we go again.'"

Saw Donatello and the rest of the Bike Barn crew this weekend.  Reminded me why Privateer was spawned - thanks folks.

So, I think after this weekend I'm four points away from the Cat2 upgrade.  Must push.  Push.

The new TT bike is in, but I need new cables, and a rear brake caliper - and legs, legs would really help. 

Just watched the latest Showtime "This American Life."  Man, I love that show on radio and TV - Ira Glass is super.
