before i forget

The GeWilli clan loaded up and headed out to the Cox race with the most ass backwards woman's purse in the world (okay maybe there are other more chauvinistic jackasses promoting racing). We got there for the few final laps of the 35+. Saw Il Brucie and his better half, and Timmieeeeeee, and Jim cruising around in the back. Murat made a killer effort leading the pack up the hill one last time "chasing" the break down. Then we started walking the course backwards and ran into Darcy. Darcy gets mention everywhere. Starring in CTodd's Todd-casts, mentioned over in cyclocosm's Cox race report... We chatted for a second as the girls were warming up then for the first lap or two down by the river bridge crossing (end of the bridge after the long straight after the downhill). We all got a run down of who's who in the field (those who i didn't know anyway). Cheered Michele on and the rest of the IBC gang, not to mention bloggin super star Ace Race. And i might be mistaken but i think Roubaix Girl was there and walked away with an armful of loot from primes. That Vanderkitten kit looked hot at anyrate. I didn't realize that Hannah was in there for a long time, not the IBC Hannah, the local Hannah. She got mention from Richard Fries about one of her emails being Hannahheartattack. Nice of Richard to send props out. Michele (the other web logging one) i think i spotted in the IF kit. I've got some shots and will get those up at some point. And yet again, i did not race this year. But the weather was SOOOO much better. Unfortunately this race won't get me another pair of Pez socks. Or fortunately. I shoulda asked Darcy to pose (kicks self for just now thinking about that)... oh well...

And a big public thanks to Bruce for the passing of the end of the back of popcorn. A big hit and probably the only small measure keeping us there till the start and the first few laps of the "Pro" event. I did shake hands and wished Mahk good luck just as Adam's front tire exploded in the VIT area.

There were a heck of a lot of folks in the "Big race."

And the other name to drop is is JD. One of the few guys who the little one smiles at before being all shy and hiding. Always good to see JD.

A nice way to spend a few (just under 3) hours on a gorgeous sunday afternoon.

pictures coming soon.

(i wonder if Hurely knew who that tall dork who said hey as she was heading back to the car after getting yelled at by the official in the car was me...)
