Hey, DB.
I was looking for muddy derailleurs with worms crawling out of them at today's Ed Sanders cross race. (Was great to see you two, by the way...what a surprise that was! But I should have expected you guys would be there...I kind of did but was surprised to see you nonetheless)
Anywho....here's the front end of Neil's drivetrain after his race.
Pretty sloppy, but they seemed to have boatloads of fun (well, except for Kemal with his DNF due to the flat tire).

Nice shot, and very cool to see you all there, too. Such timing!

I got no good photos from Ed Sanders this year :( Janice got a couple of good ones down near the barriers, though, so hopefully she'll post 'em.

Awesome photo! Hard to believe a bike can be that cruddy and still keep going.

After seeing this photo, I promise that I will never, ever complain again about cleaning my dirty bike.

Ok, you made me go back through my photos and I decided I've got a few that aren't half bad.

This wasn't the line for the porta-pots, it was the line for the bike wash...

There were a ton of Bianchis there, but is the guy whose cranks you shot the same one that Janice got the rear-view of?

No - it was the guy in my picture, sprinting towards the finish (and a 10th place finish...pretty cool).

Lots of pain face.

I spent a good amount of time in the back 9 where they had free beer and waffles. Belgian waffles:D

Yes, you do. But there's always next Sunday unless you're doing something crazy.

Erm. So far it seems like I'm biking with you guys on Friday night, then driving to New York to get a kevlar kayak, stopping by the kite buggy festival in New Jersey on Saturday, and doing Tour du port Sunday morning, and then paddling that kevlar kayak that afternoon.

kali - bring me lots of caffeine.

I'd be happy to bring you caffeine, Cat, but I stop at the Starbucks in Olney and it'd be cold by the time I get it to you in B'more. Which reminds me, I need to pm you so we can figure out our meeting logistics for Sunday.
Cataboo

Heh. I'm not all that young anymore. I just haven't started listening to my body yet.

Kali, no worries on the cold coffee - probably by Sunday I'll have enough caffeine in my system that I won't need too much more. And neither of you guys are gonna be happy if I pop off the bike to pee all the time. Just force me to eat some caffeinated shots blocks if it seems like I'm getting especially cranky.

no, but I can feel my teeth falling out :eek:

Now, back to our regularly scheduled topic,
somebody had a helmet cam! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CupyDJqzO9k&NR=1):cool:

At least one guy had a helmet cam. Very fun to watch it from the riders perspective. And now we can see what the back of the course looks like!

In the second race of the day, Janice and I saw a guy stack it near the barriers right in front of the guy with the cam. Hopefully that'll be posted, too.
