ToC: Long Beach Stage

An exciting day at the ToC finale in Long Beach. I managed to keep off the ground during the morning's 30+ Masters race (there were a couple of big pile-ups... argggh...) - which is a good thing!

Lots of fast guys out there, too fast for this scrawny dude! Probably wound up in the top 30 or so - very "nervous" race for me.

Anyway, got to hang out with the bro' (the team he is co-directing won the final stage: http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2007/feb07/california07/?id=results/california077) and our Dad - not too often the Willett crew gets to hang out together at a bike race these days!

This one is a few weeks old, but Kirk and I teamed up to do some tinkerin' with the aerodynamics of some of the Toyota-United TT guys.

In attendance for T-U were Chris Wherry, Heath Blackgrove, Chris Baldwin, and Burke Swindlehurst. We all learned some good stuff, and it's always fun hangin' with my bro!

Keep it fun out there,
