Okay, yeah, I know there is this big huge race......

......going on in France right now. But hey, we have our own big races here in Nor Cal!

Crappy pics from today's Leesville Gap Road Race.

Notes from today's race:

--Rich Thurman is hella fast(as if you didn't already know that!).

--4 water bottles for this hot race might be just enough for the 60-mile sufferfest.

--Make certain that you glue your water bottles to the cages.......they have a tendency to rattle loose during this race.

--If you happen to crash and break your arm during the race, don't hang out at the finish line for an hour waiting for someone to assist you - have your buddy drive you to the nearest hospital.....or call 911.

--After-race watermelon during 90-degree race weather looks great!!

--If you happen to have a flat tire more than once during this race, you might wanna make sure you're carrying more than just one cartridge!

--Geno discovered that it's actually a good idea to eat a ham and salami sandwich ten minutes before a race start!

--Bob Raymond is a climbing fiend!!!!

--There are some absolute babes working the Feed Zone in this race(and no, I ain't talkin' about me!).

--And finally, irate drivers are not just from Pleasanton.......no no.......these backcountry roads have some angry angry people driving on them. Thankfully, the Sheriff seemed to be on our side.
