Jessica, Stanton and I are doing the MS 150.  Anybody else?  FYI, you can pick up your packet on April 9th at the North Austin Medical Center starting at 5:00 pm, before the Velocity monthly meeting at REI North at 7:00 pm.

If you like, you can contribute to MS Society, Lone Star Chapter, sharing sponsorship of my ride here ($10 would be generous): DanielNorton.org/ms150

Hi, all,

First off, it was drizzly and overcast with a 8 to 10 mph wind from the SE
creating a head and tail wind depending on where you were in the course.
There was about 12 to 15 racing in a combined field of Cat 5's and 35+ 4/5's.
There were also 2 women, Pamela Leblanc included in the race.

Pamela will be writing about her exploits soon I guess. (To end the
suspense she got lapped several times during the race). The other woman was
named Betty and she rode for Austin Flyers. I don't know what it says about
me, but I was looking at her as a potential competitor-- maybe it was the
skinsuit.

She got dropped in the 2nd lap.

The Cat 5's consisted mainly of a bunch of UT Cycling guys. The 35+ 4/5's
were myself the incomprable Daniel Norton of Velocity, Inc. and a smattering
of unattached folks. The first lap started off pretty liesurely. A guy from
UT Cycling went off the front-ish which means he was cruising off the front
adn there wasn't much interest in him. On the 2nd lap I believe he got a
flat. On the third or 4th lap in the turn going into the finishing straight,
I came up the middle with an attack and got a small gap on the bunch. I
glanced back and there was a rider from UT named Tony who was in last week's
race. "Let's go!" I shouted to him and unlike any other time I was in a
break of any kind, he glanced back and went for it.

Tony and I took turns off the front several laps creating a sizable gap with
the main field and lapping Pamela LeBlanc a few times as well.
The only threat was a Cat 5 guy who caught on wiht 6 laps to go. Before he
caught on, Tony noticed him and mentioned that the other rider "seemed to be
taking it easy." I figured I had 35+ 4/5 in the bag, so I said, "He's first
to your second unless we stay away." When we came to the finishing straight,
the other rider called out "I'm on!" at which point Tony stepped on the gas
and we dropped him.

Tony and stayed together until there were 2 laps to go wherein he really
threw down and I had couldn't hang on. He was about 50 yards up the way the
whole way. He soloed to a Cat 5 and overall victory and I sewed up 35+ 4/5.

There were puddles on the course during the race and Kenny Hill the title
sponsor of the race was so kind to be sweeping them off the course during the
race.

The crit was loads of fun and a real confidence builder. Afterwards when
Daniel and I were watching the Cat 1,2's, I wondered aloud how Gerry King
would fair in the 35+ 4/5's given his Cipollini-esque sprint.

Perhaps I'll find out some day.....

Best,
Robert

Hi, all,
I know this is in Texas and the weather is Mercurial. At the same time, it
looks like rain is a certainty for most of tomorrow. I may ride in the
afternoon if it clears up but it will be short.

My long ride will be Sunday with the ACA So Austin Safari. Apparently, most
of the Circle C Cycling club will be there along with Daniel Norton and
myself.

I would love to see some other Velocity folk there as well.

Best,
Robert

That sounds good.  Let me know if you do.  I'm looking forward to sleeping in
tomorrow morning.

taking it easy." I figured I had 35+ 4/5 in the bag, so I said, "He's first
to your second unless we stay away."  When we came to the finishing straight,
the other rider called out "I'm on!" at which point Tony stepped on the gas
and we dropped him.

Tony and stayed together until there were 2 laps to go wherein he really
threw down and I had couldn't hang on. He was about 50 yards up the way the
whole way. He soloed to a Cat 5 and overall victory and I sewed up 35+ 4/5.

There were puddles on the course during the race and Kenny Hill the title
sponsor of the race was so kind to be sweeping them off the course during the
race.

The crit was loads of fun and a real confidence builder. Afterwards when
Daniel and I were watching the Cat 1,2's, I wondered aloud how Gerry King
would fair in the 35+ 4/5's given his Cipollini-esque sprint.

Perhaps I'll find out some day.....

Best,
Robert

No luck finding the spokes locally, so I ordered a "mini-set" of 6 from
Branford Bike.

However...I just remembered that I have the Powertap wheel that I bought
from Gerry, so I may be in business afterall!

Saturday the Keep Austin Beautiful folks are having a canoe/kayak cleanup of Town Lake.  I use and enjoy that lake a lot, so I plan to be there, weather permitting.  The recent rains poured a lot of trash and debris into the lake.

Hi,all,
Frank broke a spoke last night, so he may not be doing the Salado ride. Who's
riding where/when? I'm looking for a moderate ride of 60 to 70 miles. Lytton
Spgs anyone?
Best,
Robert

So can I (I think), but getting the replacement spoke is going to be
the fun part.

I'll try calling Nelo's later today...

I can replace Frank's spoke in a matter of minutes (give a replacement spoke), but I think Saturday's forecast dictates planning an afternoon ride (or putting it off entirely):

  http://tinyurl.com/3bf3t7

Sunday's forecast looks excellent and if I don't ride Saturday, a moderate 60-70 mile ride Sunday would be ideal.

Tonight, instead of riding to the crit, I'm bringing it on my car in case of a rainstorm.

Hi, all,
Frank expressed a desire to do this ride. Tomorrow and Friday does not bode
well for riding on account of the weather. Saturday is supposed to be great.
Plus there's a contest to see if you can get to the top of Eagle Nest first.
I'm interested.

Frank, which one are you doing?

Best,
Robert

QUACK!

Oh, wait, wrong ride...

I haven't done a century in awhile, so I may opt for that one.  I'll be leaving
my house at about 6:30am (pending good weather when I wake up), if someone
wants to hitch a ride with me.
