Approached Rag105 race less hydraded than desired, but all good. I charged hard early cresting 3 of 8 point climbs as leader. King of the Mtn. on the line. Larry & I had fun with that. Larry got King of Mountian trophy. Tim Ek 2nd, I was 3rd place KOM points.
Although Larry rolled into halfway point w/leaders, he was left hanging as others had re-fuel process down like a leadville run. I battled early on my SS but it was apparant my spin wasn't fast enough for cross bike'n lead pack. I did see Larry at mid-point so was close to leaders at halfway. Anywho- ended 1st of SS'ers, 8th OA, about 1/2hr behind Charlie Tri. Charlie Farrow 2nd, Jeremy Fry 3rd, Larry 4th. Praman 5th. Faster group this year. I'm happy with my effort being 44x17 SS Mtn Bars & climbing 8,000ft plus!! Fun to see near 10 LCR folk all finish!! Perfect weather, nothing else to report. Nice trophy eh!

I'll use my geology rock hammer from college and bust off 3/8ths of my KOM (King of Mongoloids) rock for my Squirl.
You'd have destroyed the field with gears...
Somebody in the field at the front said "that's Lelond without tats..." as you attacked... Point.
Nobody calls me Larry anymore... So makes sense.
Funny! Figured w/flats speed of lead geary cyclocross pack, better get a few KOM points for fun. More times than not it was us two destroying ourselfs for the points. Classic LCR goofyness. Nice transition! ha ha. Next time yo'll know. Classic day all around.
You were riding a 44X17? Holey cow! Why such an easy gear? Seriously though, that is impressive.
thks C Tri. SS is easier than you may think. At times 44x16 would have been right gear for speed on flats. The Voodo - carsRcoffins rider had 42x16 which was ever so slightly stiffer. He caught me on a few flats, but in the end I had the spin. Any stiffer and my mojo would have slowed sooner. Why am I typing, I gotta go ride!
