Redlands Part 2: part 2

Now that Redlands has been over for several weeks lets try the second part of this post.

I am a big fan of the saying "work smarter, not harder"

Which I think means I need to get a chair for the pits. Make no mistake, this is hard work.

Our pre crit compound. Palm trees in the background and right on the course. Location, location, location.

And what day would be complete without evening out your tan. Hugo's lack of tan lines is very impressive to me, especially now that my farmers tan has been reinforced by two summers in a row.

Monday and Tuesday after Redlands a few of us hung around LA for a bit of bio mechanical testing. I opted to just watch.

The gym we were at Monday apparently is patronized in part by really large humans.

So we brought some really skinny, really fit guys.

To see how their fitness was going. (Spoiler alert: well)

But if things went south I had my escape pod located.

Tuesday was a little more bike specific with some aero testing at the LA velodrome.

Which is really really cool.

And rather steep.

.

But we learned some things.

And saw a guy doing a parody of an internet meme.

 

What more can you ask for?

Arkansas?

Ok.

Redlands part 2: part 1

The world, as previously mentioned, in my experience is not that large. Our hosts in Redlands proved to me that is still true.

For example their son sent them this jersey from when he rode for the Recycled Cycles team. Who knew? This is also a family that has been hosting the Jamis team and it's predecessors for the last 10 years.

There was a rumor there would be too much snow for the big bear TT. We decided to risk it. David used jazz hands to photobomb this one.

Turned out the risk of sunburn was higher than the risk of snow.

Pro tip: are you gellin'?

Prototype wheel block from cyclops. Bets version coming soon.

Disk wheels are in shortage of surface area. Thankfully some people are using them for good.

David and Felix filling bottles after dinner. These guys work hard.

Redlands at least gives us one day to try out the new caravan car.

I even saw some familiar faces in the caravan.
